PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 17, 2022
This summer, thousands of cyclists and volunteers in Maine will participate in the 2022 Trek Across Maine. For years now, we’ve dealt with the consequences of COVID-19, a respiratory virus that wreaks havoc on the lungs. That’s why it has never been more important to promote lung health. Mainers and visitors “from away” are fortunate to have access to such beautiful outdoor spaces in Vacationland, where they can breathe in the fresh air and reap nature’s many benefits. We need to take advantage of the great outdoors, leaving the house and clearing out our airways. ~ Matthew Sturgis, Gray, American Lung Association in the Northeast Mid-Atlantic
