Rally with Tyler

We rode from Augusta to Lexington this morning.  Once we hit Lexington, we loaded up the car so that we could get to Atlanta in time for Tyler's event.  Many of you are familiar with Tyler's story.  For those of you who haven't heard about him, he is one unique guy. 

Tyler was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma when he was 12 years old.  Now 19, he has been going through treatments for 7 years.  He relapsed this spring, and is using oxygen to keep his energy up.  Tyler's candidness and fearless battle with cancer has led him amazing places.

John McCain and George Bush both follow Tyler.  Each men has taken the time to phone him. Tyler isn't even a swing voter - wow.

The event turned out at least 150 people for Tyler, and we got to hang out with the man of honor at his house afterwards.  When we left, Tyler entrusted us with his own bicycle helmet and a pair of bike shorts.  Gifts we will use for many rides to come.  It was a great night.
