This leads to the positive promotion of organ donation. Team Alpha 1 is aimed at providing great stories about lung transplant recipients and Alpha 1 lung patients in such an attractive way that the press can't resist. We do this by riding our bicycles in American Lung Association events all across America. We work with local Alpha1 support groups and transplant centers, The American Society of Respiratory Therapists, and others to get local riders signed up to ride with us. In the process we hope to show the other riders about lung disease and lung transplantation in the most personal way, by letting them see us and talk with us.
