Dear friends and family,

As I've done in the past, I am once again doing Bike 4 Breath. Breathe California's goal is to provide awareness and raise money for clean air and lung disease, which is important to my family and I am glad to be a part of it.

Here are some quick facts:

1) Lung disease is the second leading and fastest rising cause of death, and

2) Lung disease and breathing problems are the leading cause of infant deaths in the U.S.

I've set a personal fundraising goal and need your help and support to get there. 100% of every dollar I raise will help our local communities by supporting lung disease research, outreach and education, smoking cessation and clean air advocacy. Your support will make a difference to the lives of those who suffer from poor lung health.

You can make a secure online donation on this page. Together we can reduce air pollution, tobacco use (especially among teens!), and deaths from lung diseases such as asthma, COPD and cancer.

Thank you for your support,

Aaron Lipp
