My name is Julie, and this is why I make Every Mile Count
The primary reason I ride is my lifelong issue with lung disease. I have had severe asthma since I was young, ignited by allergies. In my youth, ER visits, restricted activities and extended hospital stays were not unusual. However as years passed, asthma drugs and my knowledge both improved! My daughter Jenny was diagnosed with asthma when she was young. In 1984 she attended American Lung Association’s first Champ Camp for kids. She continued her involvement and became a mentor in following years. (Many of my family members have had issues and I lost four cousins to lung cancer.)
Jenny and I carefully manage our asthma, and we are able to be physically active. I am a member of a circuit training group; I walk miles each day and now am looking forward to playing golf and biking.
My name is Lisa, and this is why I make Every Mile Count
I ride because I've lost both of my parents to small cell lung cancer. My mother just passed this spring, my father when I was a child. I ride to help raise funds to fight this horrible lung disease, hoping that a cure for cancer can be found. I ride to celebrate my own health, my love for Alaska's roads and wilds, and my ability to breathe freely.
