About Me

Join the CAUSE today at Breathe Easy RideSaturday, June 30, 2007 Join the CAUSE at Breathe Easy Ride This popular one day bike ride is the American Lung Association of California's largest, annual fundraising event. Held on Sat., June 30, 2007 in Rohnert Park at Sonoma Mountain Village, the Breathe Easy Ride attracts competitive cyclists from corporate teams, cycling clubs and coalitions, and members of the community with a strong connection to lung disease. Cyclists travel from all over California to participate in this fully supported, clean air and lung healthy ride. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WHY ARE WE DOING THIS RIDE? The American Lung Association the oldest public health organization in the U.S., the foremost defender of clean air, strives to mitigate the ill effects of poor air quality to protect those with asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and other chronic lung disease. Breathe Easy Ride raises funds and awareness to support education, research and advocacy programs so that everyone can breathe easier. Participants ride to support issues critical to family health – improving air quality, eliminating lung disease, and keeping kids tobacco free. Air pollution is the top environmental concern of Americans. More than 35 million Americans are living with chronic lung disease. In some parts of the Bay Area, 1 in 4 children suffer from asthma. Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer, ovarian, and cervical cancer combined. Lung disease is America’s #3 killer and is increasing at a faster pace than heart disease and cancer. Occupational lung disease is the number one work- related illness. Proceeds support the mission of the American Lung Association to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Get out of your car, and gear up your bike.... lead a cycling team and make a difference for everyone who breathes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Join the CAUSE and Tour the SF Bay Area Back Roads at Breathe Easy Ride- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -On Sat., June 30, 2007, riders will choose from a 35 mile or a 65 mile route that leads them through the beautiful back roads of Sonoma and Marin counties; highlighting the towns of West Petaluma, Two Rock, Tomales, and Sebastopol.
