Parker Power

Yesterday I wore a pretty exciting shirt.  It was made in memory Parker, one of my biggest heroes.  I met Parker in 2006 when we bicycled through Philadelphia.  He was starting treatments for neuroblastoma.  Parker lost his battle last fall after two brave years of treatment.

It's been fun to keep in touch with Parker's family.  He loved riding bicycles, and it's exciting to be able to do this for kids like him.  I never would have imagined that riding my bicycle could make a difference in someone else's life.  

I have a bracelet that Parker's family gave me  - never ride without it.  If we keep riding, maybe we can help some kids like Parker. 

Here's a video from yesterday:
