Michael Patrick
While blog browsing I came across Michael Patrick blog yesterday. I know Michael as a mtn bike racer. all my conversations with Michael had been short while winded during races. I was unfamiliar with the details of the struggle with brain cancer. He and his blog are inspiring take a look and see what he has been through. It puts the whole aspect of dealing with pain and struggling in perspective.

bikes are saving the world
A car in Africa often costs over 10 times the average annual income, a bicycle can make the difference between, getting an education or not, earning a living or not, or receiving medical care or not. People in Africa walk up to 3 miles to get water. Mostly women or girls. After walking the water must then be boiled and filtered to clean it. All labor intensive but necessary task to prevent diseases.
