The human spirit….

Some have been shattered, bruised, ignored, held down, and others…encouraged, grown, nurtured. Those that contain scars, rise above the rest and defeat the challenge, overcome the obstacle. For Tim, his spirit has faced its fair share of pain, but as I sit here watching him ride, I am amazed. Reality says that it’s a very hard task to ride across the country; reality also says that without everything going right, this trip won’t work. The human spirit always seems to defy reality though, and Tim’s spirit is proof of that. When you see him out there, pushing up those hills with every ounce of strength, you can’t help but feel a big burden for him. A video or photograph could never capture the real impact he has on the people driving around him and us, the ones in the RV. Watching him, is watching history in the making.

He does this for the little girl, who has only a few weeks left to live….and for the young boy playing with his friends with no idea that his body is being taken over by Cancer. There are no losers when it comes to Childhood Cancer, every single child is a fighter, a warrior and no matter what happens to them, they win.

I love Tim’s spirit, his dedication, his determination, his joy, …and I know with everything inside of me, giving up is not an option for him.

Tim – The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. -Arthur C. Clarke
