Don't Count the Days, Make the Days Count

Well there is less than two weeks of one of the most amazing summers I have ever had. I feel that I am definitely making the days count as well. I am having a blast cycling and everything else we are doing. Today we rode 120 miles from Birmingham, AL to Carrollton, Georgia. I never thought I could have so much fun cycling 120 miles in a day! But I did. It is really hard to believe that I am already in Georgia and on Saturday I'll be back in Charlotte. These last few days have been pretty rainy. On our way to Birmingham we got caught by a down pour. It was a blast to ride in though!

In Tuscaloosa, AL, during our lunch friendship visit with UCP, I met an awesome kid named Hank. Hank has cerebral palsy. He can not communicate very well verbally, but Hank had some an awesome personality! He has a new electric wheelchair and he flies on that thing. His smile could light up the world. I was able to speak with his mom and grandma as well, and both of them seemed like extremely loving people. The people I am meeting are definilely having a life long impact.
