Bike for Immigration Justice
The End! | July 17, 2010
To all the people who helped me prepare by giving me moral support, prayers, positive energy, advice, and cheers…
to everyone who donated time, equipment/items/stuff, money….
to everyone who called, texted, replied to my posts, sent me mail during the trip and just had faith in me..
to those who biked with me and shared the experience…
to all the new friends who let me camp in their backyards or on their couch, who let me use their internet, their shower, their pool, who shared a meal with me and gave me something cold to drink, and sometimes a little money, who gave me a meal on the house or let me in somewhere for free…
to all the people who took the time to have a conversation with me, tell me their opinions, tell me about their family, their history, their life and what’s most important to them…
to everyone who worried, cared, and supported…
to my family, old buddies, and new friends…
and to everyone who takes journeys much more arduous than mine, out of necessity rather than adventure, those same people who inspired me to take my trip and gave me the faith to do it……
thank you thank you thank you.
I wouldn’t have be able to take this trip without all of you, and if I could do it without all of you it would have been lonely and sad and terrible rather than the joyful and amazing and life-alteringly fabulous journey that it was! Thank you!
