    Special Events

    Breathe Easy Ride

    The 26th Annual Breathe Easy Ride is scheduled for June 27-29, 2008. Proceeds benefit the American Lung Association of California. The Breathe Easy Ride will take place in the Santa Ynez Valley and cover both flat terrain and rolling hills past regionally famous wineries and ranches.

    Sign up for the 1 day ride on Sat. June 23 or ride all 3 days, Fri-Sun, June 27-29. Pedal at your own pace. Support stops every 10 miles. Fantastic food and music and a wonderful group of volunteers will guarantee a great weekend "get away."

    This is a go-at-your-own pace ride for cyclists of all levels of experience.

    Rest and food stops will be set up every 10 miles along the route with roving support vehicles to help you along. And each day the rider has a choice of a 30 or 50-mile route. During the weekend, entertainment will be provided.

    Volunteer

    Many opportunities are available to help the Tri-Counties breathe a little easier. Volunteer to help keep children from smoking and to help the over 45,000 children who suffer from asthma learn more about their disease. Pick a specific program or volunteer for more than one. No medical background is needed. We will provide training for all programs and special events.

    Advocacy

    The American Lung Association's Advocacy efforts have fueled the fight against Big Tobacco and the struggle to maintain healthy air quality standards. Without the support of a informed and concerned public, these efforts would be lost. Your action is our greatest asset when it comes to our legislative efforts.

    Contact your local lung association and find out how you can become an integral part of our advocacy efforts. Call 1 (800) LUNG USA today to find out how you can actively support our mission to end lung disease and promote lung health or email us at jbrechwald@alac.org.
