I went to Cranksgiving last night, a charity started by messengers in NYC that wanted to give back to those in need. Awesome energy.. All i can say is that I am more motivated now than ever before. I started off feeling somewhat bashful about my trip, but nearly everyone that i approached reacted to me with such positivity that I couldnt help but feel confident that what I am doing is right.
I have faced mainly psychological difficulties with the decision to go through with all this, as I know it wont be easy. But with the amazing amount of support and encouragement that I’ve felt within the last 24 hours, I know the universal energies and many divine people are promoting my future success.

Hi Ryan,
I met you briefly on Lake Street in Pasadena yesterday evening. You noticed my Barack Obama t-shirt. I wish you well on your ride, will try to support you and meet you in Washington D.C. I will be staying with my son in Arlington and trying to attend as many events as possible. Keep in touch.
