Sinopsis

A NEW WORLD RECORD FOR MENTAL HEALTH.On September 30th, 2019, I left on a journey down the Atlantic Coast of the United States. From Madawaska, Maine, on the border of Canada to the southernmost point Key West, Florida, I rode for 11 days, 9 hours, and 33 minutes, covering 2,288 miles and set a new Guinness World Record for the Fastest Crossing of America by Bicycle (North to South). A month before the original start date I was hit by a car, totaling my bike and leaving me with a long list of injuries including a torn meniscus and concussion.While cycling 17+ hours a day my epic adventure had me facing extreme weather, multiple attempted robberies and dark suppressed memories. This story tells of massive triumphs in both body and mind, all for a very important cause: The National Alliance on Mental Illness.I?ve lost multiple friends to the terrible disease called depression, all while being anxiety ridden and suffering with it myself. Through endurance sports like cycling, I have found a better version of myself. This is my attempt to give back to the ultra-endurance community I have gained so much from. My hope is to inspire others to ride, run, swim, ski, and hike their ways to a clearer, happier life. You are not alone in life?s journey!
