Wisdom of Julia
I wanted to gather in one place all the messages our pedal partner Julia sent to us during our trip. Some I have excerpted previously in my blogs, but here goes:
Tuesday, June 12, 2007:
Hi Chris and Sam Everyday I will send you a inspirational message that helped me go through hard times, and I know they will help you to continue biking.
Here is the message for today "Climb high, Climb far, Your goal the sky, Your aim the star!" Good luck and remember you are helping or maybe even saving a child's life. I'll be thinking about you, Julia Wednesday, June 13, 2007:
Hi Sam and Chris, Day one is almost complete and you guys must be TIRED! I know when I was in the hospital I was, and I was not biking 300 km a day! Inspirational message of the day: "If dreams and goals can keep you alive,you're going to live to be one hundred and five!" Keep on trucking, Julia Saturday, June 16, 2007:
Hey guys, well it has been a rough couple of days but I know you can do this! Inspirational message: "The stronger your spirit be, The better you'll be!" This is my favourite quote because it is the truth. When I was in the hospital I could not move my whole left side for the first 3 weeks, but look at me know I can WALK. I believed I would walk again and I did. Your bodies are sore and aching, but you and I both know that you will acheive your goal. Just believe in yourself and you will get what you want. Keep on trucking, Julia

Hi Sam and Chris, When I am at the hospital I see infants and babies who are suffering with a life threating illness that they did not choose to have. Then I think of you. You chose to do something remarkable to help all these kids who are fighting for their lives, and I think that is amazing. You guys are my heroes and I think highly of you. I know what you are going through is tough, but keep on going not just for me but for all the other kids who have to suffer. Lots of love, Julia Wednesday, June 20, 2007:
Hi Sam and Chris, Right now I'm feeling pretty crappy myself so I can totally relate to how you guys are feeling. Insprational message: "You are never given a wish or a dream without also being given the ability to make it come true." I know you guys have the ability to keep going and believe in yourself. The race is almost over, Julia Thursday, June 21, 2007:
Hey Sam and Chris, You guys have been doing so great! I know you thought you were going to place higher but to say "why bother we aren't going to place where we want to" Come on, I don't care that you did not place where you wanted to so why should you? I know you can make it, just keep on going because you only have one day! Inspirational message: "The only mistake is to stop trying" I have faith in you, Julia Friday, June 22, 2007:
Well you guys endured the heat of the desert, the hills of the rockies and everything in between, and you came in fourth! I am so proud of you guys for continuing to race and I'm sure you are too! Well I just have one thing to say to you: You did it! Congratulations, Julia
