I have a friend at work who is just about at the end of a bike across America as a fund raiser and to build awareness for the American Lung Association. His name is Shawne and he suffers from an extremely painful and rare lung disease called spontaneous pneumothorax, which can cause a sudden collapse of the lung. After enduring chest tubes, surgery to essentially glue his right lung to his chest wall and countless hours of pulmonary rehabilitation, Shawne has since made a full recovery.
So, he decided he would take on the country and raise some money for his cause. He started at the Golden Gate Bridge on 5/3 and will arrive in Washington DC on 6/17... simply incredible!!!
