Stay Strong

Danielle, Brittany, and Amanda.......109 miles of thinking about you! I rode from Daytona to Jacksonville today and it wasn't easy.....A rare "dry" day in FLA, that's
the good news....bad news a 15 mile an hour north wind for 7 and 1/2 hours, so a 6 hour ride took 25% longer. I kept thinking " you've been telling the girls for six weeks to stay strong", so Coach "stay strong"...well it worked, I finished.
I think to many times, we as adults forget to practice what we preach. I truly believe that this whole "experience" has changed me to "stay strong" and to practice what I preach.
Dani, I hope you're doing well and fighting through all your road blocks, I'm so very proud of you! Amanda, I hope school is going well and that you are not overdoing it, I picked up something in Daytona that will make you smile! Brit, work hard at therapy and no steps backward just forward. I miss you guys tell Dad and Melissa I said "hi"!
I head to Brunswick, GA in the morning, they are doing a fundraiser at the hotel... imagine that people in Georgia, a thousand miles away helping out! A lot of the good things in this world just go unnoticed.
To all my family, friends, kid's and supporters, "Stay strong" and take care of each other. I miss all of you, but think of you all the time.
Stay safe and I will see you soon!
