Jedidah – Sarah – Emmah and Melinda

another reason, i’m riding…is for family.  i couldn’t do this without of the love encouargement of my family.  my amazing helpmate, best freind and lover for more than 33 years – Melinda.  The beauty and good hearts found in our daughters, Sarah and Emmah and the strength and courage in our son Jedidiah.  I remember last year during one of my first training rides i had this deep sense of emotion that  came over me during the ride.  i realized i was going to be away from home and their company of them for the longest time.  our family is the legacy we leave literally.  in our time at the Freedom Center I became aware that many families were and are broken by slavery.  I am grateful that we have each other.

It’s all crazy.  my new friend Brandon said it yesterday…

it isn’t crazy to ride 500 miles in 6 days to raise awareness for human trafficking.  What’s crazy is to do NOTHING…
