We had an adventure this weekend.

Dr. Spina and a group of maniacs biked 310 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington DC to raise money for wounded veterans. The ride raised just under $500,000 for Operation Second Chance, https://operationsecondchance.org

I have mixed emotions about AI, but I'd like to keep an open mind. Recently, I had three interactions with AI, all of which left me a little wanting but I think provide some valuable information.

We had a BIG adventure this weekend. I took part in the Ride Allegheny Pittsburgh to DC bike ride, https://www.rideallegheny.org/. This ride raised money for our veterans though Operation Second Chance, https://operationsecondchance.org/. The work that they do is life changing. I am extremely grateful to have raised almost $8500 and the ride in total raised almost $500,000. The ride traverses the length of the Great Allegheny Passage (https://gaptrail.org/) and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail (https://www.nps.gov/choh/index.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/choh/index.htm) in rural Pennsylvania and Maryland. It is an amazing group and a great ride.

I'd love to get some riders from eastern PA to come with me to show the guys in western PA how to ride. Any interest just call me to discuss!!

between dental and cardiac health!

New trial results show that intense gum disease treatment reduces how much the carotid artery narrows in otherwise healthy individuals. This suggests oral health should be taken seriously as a contributing factor in cardiovascular disease.
