180 miles of cycling love!!!

We all know how important having proper breath control is to belly dance. We as dancers need to breath fluidly and fully to bring life and emotion to our performance. Without clean air and good lung health where would we be in this dance?

This year I am a participating cyclist in the American Lung Association's Trek Across Maine. In June, I will join thousands of other cyclists in a 180 mile, three day journey across Maine while raising money to fight lung disease and increase awareness about the importance of lung health.

How many people do you know who are affected by some type of lung disease?

Lung disease can take someone's breath away, leaving them unable to work, exercise or play. Growing faster than almost any other major illness, lung disease, including lung cancer, asthma and emphysema is the third leading cause of the death in the United States.

Please join me in my efforts to make a difference by making a personal or corporate tax-deductible donation.
