Wow its almost time to go. I want to give a little recap for those who have not read all of the old posts. My name is James Barnett, I am 50 years old and am wheelchair bound as a result of a neuromuscular disease known as muscular dystrophy. My two sons, Ben and Joel will be riding bikes along the side of my wheelchair as we ride the coastal highways fro Canada to Mexico. We have been thinking about this for some time. The time is now, its time to live and not just exist. We all need to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, so for us this is it. Please join us by following our journey, just knowing there are people who care enough to share their encouragement gives me the strength to attempt this .... thank you. As we started planning this event, we realized there are other wheelbound adventurers out there that need an opportunity like this to give them a renewed hope; thus "Wheelbound Adventures" was born. It is our desire to use this trip as a springboard to launch this nonprofit organization. We desire to share future journeys with our wheelbound friends. If you would like help support this dream, please free to donate your time and or resources. Together we can attempt to Leave no adventurer behind.
