Please be prepared to wear your face mask whenever you aren’t able to maintain social distance. What if I’ve had the COVID-19 Vaccine? Achieving widespread immunity through vaccination will be key to ending the pandemic, but it will take time to get there. Even if you are vaccinated, it is critical for all Americans to protect their health and that of their community by continuing to follow public health guidance. All participants, including those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine must abide by the event day guidelines. This includes wearing a mask, social distancing and washing hands thoroughly until enough of the U.S. population is vaccinated to stop the spread of the virus. Unable to join us in person? Contact us and we can transfer your registration to our virtual RIDE Your Way program. Despite COVID-19 our mission continues, now more than ever, we appreciate your support by participating in person or virtually to allow us to continue our critical mission.

Our Work in Action
ASTHMA: Every day, children and adults with chronic asthma try to
minimize and avoid the things that trigger an attack. Although there is no
cure, asthma can be managed, which is where we come in.
The American Lung Association is a recognized authority for asthma
health professionals, school personnel and families who are impacted
by the disease. And so, every day, 365 days a year, thousands of
people across the country turn to us for support and free resources to
manage asthma at home, work and at school. To learn more about the
Lung Association’s resources on Asthma go to Lung.org/Asthma.
LUNG CANCER: Last year, our annual State of Lung Cancer
Report showed that lung cancer survival rates are improving. However,
the report also showed that lung cancer remains the country’s #1
cancer killer. Curing lung cancer will not be a single event, but a
continuous progression of meaningful breakthroughs over time. Those
breakthroughs are only possible because of the sustained and reliable
support from participants like you. To learn more about the Lung
Association’s efforts on Lung Cancer, go to Lung.org/LungCancer.
COVID-19 is not the first, and it will not be the last respiratory
pandemic that we will face. That’s why we created the COVID-19 Action
Initiative and committed $25 million to end COVID-19 and protect
against future pandemics. By supporting the Lung Association, you are
helping to PREVENT future outbreaks by investing in respiratory virus
research. PROVIDE free lung health education and masks to those in
need. PROTECT public health by advocating for COVID-19 and flu
vaccines in underserved communities of color. To learn more about the
Lung Association’s research and work around COVID-19, go to
Lung.org/COVID19
VAPING & TOBACCO: For decades we have been helping people
quit tobacco for good. Now we’ve leveraged that experience and
expertise to address the alarming youth vaping epidemic through our
nationwide Vape-Free Schools Initiative. One in four teens has vaped,
and the number of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes
increased to 5.4 million in 2019. Vaping can permanently damage
lungs. When you participate in our events, you support our work to end
the youth vaping epidemic. To learn more about the Lung Association’s
work around the Vaping epidemic
