John is an inspiration to me in many ways.
John is my cousin who chooses to live out his dreams. He doesn't just talk about it...he does.
Today was our final workout together. For the last few months, we'd get together weekly for a bootcamp style workout...burpees, sprints, cinderblock chucking fun.
John is almost 10yrs younger than me and kicks my tail each week, routinely finishing each element before me and always doing more than expected.
John leaves this week to spend a few months as a rafting guide in California before continuing his journey retracing the steps of Louis & Clark.
John is combining walking, rafting, and biking to complete the trail over the course of a few years, along the way connecting with many inspiring more.
I stole a few pictures from John's IG page....
I am confident John has encouraged and motivated many people on his journey, and he will continue to do so for many more...
My time with John has been a reminder of the importance of telling those you care for that you are proud of them and love them.
Don't wait to tell someone you love and are proud of them.
Our time is short on this earth, and God's Love is for all to know and experience.
Be safe out there, John, and never stop exploring God's creation.
