I know that this must have been such a tough decision Rick but this decision just demonstrates another great attribute that you have. Good for you.

“The Greatest Test of Courage is to Bear defeat without losing Heart”

Another perspective might be this.

the reasonable man adapts himself to the world
the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself
therefore all progress relies on the “Unreasonable Man” (by George Bernard Shaw)

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK RICK. MOST PEOPLE ONLY DREAM BUT DON’T FOLLOW THROUGH.

XO,
JILLIAN

I have to agree with Bonnie, It takes courage to do the right thing. Not reaching the finish line should not take away from the experience. I am just thankful that you are making it back in one piece safely to your family. Can’t wait to hear the stories, I am sure that there will be plenty. God speed, G,S&L

From looking at the live timing it sounds like today is really nasty. Going to be a long day but Rick did show up at the first checkpoint so still going!

Go Rick Go!
