This morning I got up early and started my trek towards Dodge City. It was some of the most difficult riding I've done so far. The headwinds were awful and it was starting to rain. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself and then I met Matt. Matt is crossing the country from Boston to Long Beach, CA in his wheelchair. He is on life support and can go at most 6 miles an hour. I stopped and talked to Matt and told him that he was truely an inspiration. So on that dreary, windy, and rainy Kansas morning as Matt was wrapped in blankets to keep him warm I found enough of his attitude to get out of my funk. Matt and his crew were some of the most amazing people i've met on my journey thus far. Here is the link to their site: http://officialmattsplace.org/
Total miles today = 172
that was great! thanks!
ReplyDelete"There but for the grace of God, go I." Matt is an amazing man, and so are you. And you both have some pretty special people as support crew.
