"This old Marine has had a lot of chances," he said. Now Home is taking another chance to help others. He is one of 1,000 bikers planning to ride from Seattle to Washington, D.C., in 45 days during the GTE Big Ride Across America. The trip will take riders through more than 35 towns between June 15 and Aug. 1.

Raising money for charity So far, he has raised just over half of the $6,000 he has pledged to the American Lung Association, the benefactor of the ride. Home looks at the ride as a lifetime opportunity. "It's the experience of being with a thousand people," he said. "I want to be a part of that group." Home, 61, knows how precious life is. In 1969, he contracted gangrene in his leg after stepping on a mine while serving in the Vietnam War.

Doctors wanted to amputate, but he decided otherwise. "We'll ride it out," he recalls telling the doctors. Now, almost 30 years later, his leg still works. And there's the stroke he suffered shortly after having open heart surgery in 1994. put he recovered and now runs every day.
