Dear Friends and Members of SBRA,

Once again, I am riding in a 3 day event on Cape Cod to benefit the programs and research of the American Lung Association and to raise awareness of lung disease. As cyclists, I believe we are much more aware of our lungs than most people, especially on those pesky climbs. You may be surprised that COPD is the third leading cause of death in this country.

I am incredibly grateful at the support of John, Christine, Tom, and Norm for you concern and generosity. Your contribution makes a real difference to Team SBRA and to those impacted by lung disease.

Making a donation is a personal choice and I recognize that there are many deserving causes. I hope each of you will consider supporting the American Lung Association's mission by sponsoring Team SBRA in the 2014 Autumn Escape Bike Trek. Contributions are tax deductible and, if applicable, please take advantage of any matching gifts program from your employer to multiply your gift.

Thank you all so much for your continued support. Whether making a donation or sending an encouraging word, it is all greatly appreciated and truly makes a difference to Team SBRA and to all those who must deal with lung disease.

Best Regards,
Rob and Team SBRA
