Don's Story and Cause

This is Don Webers "ride across the US" blog. Don plans to leave on April 1st from San Diego CA and end in St. Augustine FL. on May 24th, bike riding a mind boggling 3100 miles! Little background on Don...he's the man! Anyone who has the urge to ride a bike across this great nation on a bike deserves a round of applause. Especially because this ride is a selfless act on Don's part. He is riding to raise awareness for "Help for Brain Injured Children" (www.hbic.org). Don's own personal experience with a brain injury occurred back in 2003 when he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. The accident placed him in 2-week coma and when he awoke, completely changed his life. Don recuperated but, was left with a life altering brain injury that he's learned to cope with over years of challenges. 

Back in 07' Don rode his beach cruiser by the side of his brother Ryan, who was skateboarding from Brea CA. to San Francisco CA. (an astounding 518 miles). Ryan's efforts were made in order to raise awareness for the "Life Rolls On Foundation" focusing specifically on spinal cord research (www.liferollson.org). Don was by Ryan for the whole journey and didn't waiver thru rain, hills, steep grades and flat tires, they finished in 11 days! Ryan's intense accomplishment inspired Don to start on his own personal quest...that is where this website picks up...

This sites sole purpose is to log Don's daily-weekly on goings and "riddles" as he likes to call them in his 2 month long trek across the good ol' US of A! Don wants to share his adventure with all the people he knows as well as all of those he doesn't, in hopes to inspire others to do something great...he wants to show people who've encountered "life-altering" experiences that they can still help change lives...

Look for updates regularly and please share the link with friends and family or total strangers...Don is grateful for any help in raising awareness for this cause
