Guess what, it’s time to start thinking about support events in 2012, what are your plans? Not sure, or even if you already know, consider riding or supporting the Reach the Beach ride this year.
What is it? Reach the Beach is put on by the American Lung Association for clean air and healthy lungs. If you’ve ever had someone with lung cancer or lung disease, this is the event you can return support for. There will be 3,000 bike riders that will take to the streets and hills in support of this event. We ride from Portland to the finish line at the Pacific Ocean. The ride is fully supported with breaks every 15 miles and a fat meal at the end.
Reach the Beach is an inspiring, healthy way to spend the day together and conquer your personal fitness goals. You can even give the ride as a gift for someone that is a supporter themselves. The gift certificate you receive covers the entry fee and the fundraising minimum. The great thing about the ride is that the cost of the ride is covered by those who support you. It’s easy, sign up and then go hit your boss, local businesses, friends and relatives to support your ride. You don’t even have to handle any money, donations for your ride can be made right on-line. All proceeds go to the American Lung Association and support of this event.
Why support this event? Lung disease - including asthma, emphysema and lung cancer - is the third leading cause of death in America. Over the last decade, the death rate from lung disease has been growing faster than the death rate from almost any other killer. Since 1915, the American Lung Association in Oregon has been fighting lung disease through education, community service, advocacy, and research. We are working to help those who suffer from lung disease today, and to stop the spread of lung disease tomorrow.

Starting location: Conestoga Middle School

To succeed, we need your support. Please join the American Lung Association's mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. You can do this by participating in Reach the Beach or donating in a rider's name. Thank you for joining the fight against lung disease.
