The day was Christmas Eve of 2008 and my mother was diagnosis with severer liver disease. It was shocking news! At that point, my family and I didn’t know how long we had with my mom. It made me realize how precious life is. You never really know how much time you have. If I am not living my life, accomplishing my goals, my time will run out. I have to start acting and living my life.
My mom has always been a positive inspiration for me and has encouraged me to be a success at whatever I put my mind to. To see my mom, a cancer survivor, and now fighting cirrhosis of the liver, riding my bike across America will be a piece of cake.
When I say I am going to ride my bike across America, I usually get the wide eye stare and the question, you’re doing what?! Since college, it’s always been a dream of mine. I think it would be a great opportunity to see America from a bike, have the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. You’ve gotta love God’s country! Biking makes me feel like a kid again. (Please remind me of this when I am cursing those mountain passes!)
Believe me I already tried to get 50 days off of work, but my manager just wouldn’t have it. My plan is to complete the tour over three years. 2 weeks this year, 2 weeks in 2010, and the last leg will be 2 weeks in 2011. I fly out of San Antonio to LAX on May 8 and start riding on May 10, 2009 Mother’s Day.
