St. Augustine: Mission Accomplished!
The final 38.7 miles put the finishing touches on the coast to coast bike ride across the USA for Teen Challenge. After I reported to Dennis Whitman at 8:50 AM eastern time (5:50 AM pacific time) I received a video phone call from the Teen Challenge men and staff of resounding cheers like I never heard at Candlestick Park in my days with the 49ers. I don't think the finality has hit yet, but we are just overwhelmed with thankfulness. Cindy & I will never be the same after this adventure together. We probably need a little time to process it all. I look forward to sharing with the Teen Challenge family. Thanks so much to all my family, friends, and all of you who took part in this journey. More to come.

Way to go Jimmy! I was out for a run this morning and told me running partner, "I think Jimmy is probably dipping his tire in the ocean about now." And I wasn't too far off. You are an inspiration and all of NLCC is celebrating with you and Cindy!

Jimmy and Cindy,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! What an amazing feat for both of you and I know neither of you will ever be the same...neither will those whose cause y'all championed! I bet your daddy even got out his A & M clippers and gave my daddy a haircut for this special day!
Much love,
Your Mississippi cousin Beth
Jimmy and Cindy, you are both such an inspiration to us. Each day when we see someone on a bike we have been saying "Go Jimmy"! Praise the Lord you are both safe and sound. See you soon!
