“A master class of grit” or a really Good reason? 🚴♂️🏃♂️🏊♂️🚣♂️⛰️❤️
This past weekend myself and 15 amazing people received the Outstanding Alumni Award at Oakmont.
I was honored to be in a group of doctors, nurses, authors, ceo’s, inventors, food sovereigntist and the 46th surgeon general. What made me so proud was how I was being recognized for the “Why” behind what I do. Raising funds and awareness for causes that support those in need. Everyone in this list have this same goal of a greater good.
I felt so lucky to have all these people that have loved and supported me over the years there. Without them, I probably wouldn’t have done any of this.
Honored to be deemed well enough to put on a “master class of grit”, I pushed on because I’ve had a few really Good reasons. Honoring lost friends through the world record ride for NAMI, NE6 for Alzheimer’s, running across Maine for MS, riding cross country for St Jude’s, the South America record attempt to build clean water infrastructure, protecting rivers amongst others too long winded to list or yet to be accomplished.
Thank you to the Good People of the Bicycle Brendan community and their support of my continued efforts of Good ❤️
