     As of today, May 29, I have raised and collected $31,031 from 330 sponsors. My goal is to raise $250,000 for my 15 years of fund-raising for the American Lung Association, so I have to raise $2,533 more.
     On June 3rd I will be flying from Newark to Seattle. From there I will take the airport shuttle to Anacortes, WA to await the start of the ride back on June 8th.
     As always, I'm inviting anyone who wishes to pledge to ALA by supporting my ride to go to my pledge site at: http://pledgejohn.lungne.org. Please give generously. 
     I would like to find:
                                 26 people to donate $100, (Group 1)
                                 260 people to give $10, (Group 2)
                                 2,533 people to give $1,
                                 25,330 people to give 10 cents OR
                                 253,300 people to give a penny.

     For administrative ease, it would most desirable if you were part of Group 1 or 2!
     Thank you.
