It's amazing to know that real people actually care enough to ride a bike for days on end just to get the message through to those of us who have a hard time listening. I have, in the past, tried a few times to rid myself of all the hate and anger I was holding in by "attempting". I finally got sufficient help and had the support of my mom throughout it all. Although my friends still don't understand why I did it, they are still there and I'm very grateful for that. Now I have a very hard job away from my family. It's not a physically hard job, but since I have to be away for about 4-6 months at a time it's still really hard on me. My past experiences have definitely prepared me for this because if I had never gotten that help I probably wouldn't have found the strength in me to endure the absence of friends and family. Kepp up the good work! You're an inspiration to us all! :)ieatdirt_yummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303500582461837831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637879440018177210.post-86842077793805217222008-06-28T22:38:00.000-07:002008-06-28T22:38:00.000-07:00I'm sad to see Kyle go but I can't help but think ...I'm sad to see Kyle go but I can't help but think that sometimes things don't work out the way we plan for a reason. <BR/><BR/>I was just wondering how many miles have yall bike so far?Christina Rayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824658883176348901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637879440018177210.post-42696592799541497362008-06-28T18:21:00.000-07:002008-06-28T18:21:00.000-07:00Aly - You guys are in one my favorite parts of the...Aly - You guys are in one my favorite parts of the country - The land of the tall trees! :-)<BR/><BR/>Kyle - Sorry to see you go, I know you will be missed.

I had a blast leading Justin and Andi on "the scenic tour" of Portland. I rode with them about 25 miles from Sherwood OR to Marta's house in the central part of Portland. We stopped a couple of times to take in views of the city, Mt. Hood and the "BlueBack" submarine.<BR/><BR/>What a great group of young adults the Alive Campaign team are! You all are my heros! <BR/><BR/>Keep it up and I will be riding with you in spirit!<BR/><BR/>Mark Johnson<BR/>Portland Oregonmdjohns5https://www.blogger.com/profile/17966832180025807925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637879440018177210.post-7232873471723346392008-06-28T08:52:00.000-07:002008-06-28T08:52:00.000-07:00We here in elpaso are so proud of y'all.I wish I h...We here in elpaso are so proud of <BR/>y'all.I wish I had been able to do some of the things y'all are doing.<BR/>Y'all are truly living life to the<BR/>fullest.
