2,400+ Reached the Beach!
May 20, 2008
Reach the Beach this past weekend was an amazing success - and a great example of good event planning. The weather was hot, hot, hot, but the water on course was ample and there were support vehicles making loops to pick up riders in need. Extra ambulances ensured the safety of all riders and there was no shortage of smiling faces and happy participants at the finish line. Reach the Beach is a great way to see rural Oregon and an even better way to raise support for the American Lung Association of Oregon. In fact, riders raised over $385,000 for the cause (final numbers are still being tallied). Impressive!
The funds raised will help the ALAO fulfill their mission of preventing lung disease and promoting lung health. That will make a big difference for Oregonians living with respiratory ailments like asthma, emphysema and lung cancer.
