I recently received an e-mail from Paul Payton, director of communication for the American Lung Association, informing me of yet another local couple planning to leave on a cross-country pedal this month.
Greg & Trish Dimmitt from Orting are leaving June 25 to ride their tandem with 40 other people in the American Lung Association's Big Ride Across America.
Payton writes: "The Dimmitt's love to ride their tandem together, but they are also very involved with raising funds and awareness about living with lung disease, as they have lost loved ones to the diseases. To date, the Dimmitt's have raised more than $17,000 with the support of family, friends and probably many in the Tacoma and Pierce County area."
The Dimmitt's and the other riders leave from Seattle and will ride to Washington D.C.
