More Day 1 Pictures - Seattle to Easton, WA
Michael Yee riding up mountain pass over the Cascades Me, David, and Margo most of the way up the Cascade Pass
I teach middle school biology and hang out with 13 year olds all day long. They keep me young and teach me patience. During the summers, I get away from the classroom and get outside! This summer's adventure is my biggest yet: I am riding my bike cross-country in support of the American Lung Association. I love bicycle touring and it has always been my dream to ride cross country. The $5,500 I raised for the American Lung Association to participate in this ride will help support clean air quality, lung disease, and education about the dangers of smoking.
I would like to thank all of my sponsors for your generous contributions to the American Lung Association and for making this trip possible for me. THANK YOU!
