Danny’s Ride

Dan, you have been an inspiration to me and so many others. I have often wondered where you were and what new challenge you were surmounting and who you were helping. It’s great to see you are well and always striving to achieve. We miss you dearly here in North Texas (or in Iraq, as the case may be for me) and would love to hear from you if you get the opportunity.
-Jim Pelletier

It’s awesome to see this and know you’re doing well. You’re missed in the DFW area for sure. Continued success with the biking and music education. You’ve gifted the world with the education of very gifted musicians.

I just want to say, that I think you are great. Even though I do not know you, I am very proud of you.

You guys are so beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rock on

Danny—I CANNOT IMAGINE the bravery it took to not only say NO to the transplant, but to then ride across the country. God bless you.

Danny & Drew:

You are the MEN!!! God gave you two arms, two legs, two bike wheels (or many more), and two hearts of gold. From the bottom of MY heart, I thank you for your courage and drive. I’m pretty sure my brother Chip would have loved nothing more than to see you bringing it in those last few days. The slide show is incredible – I can’t watch it enough (and GREAT music choices! )

With admiration and thanks . . .

We will be finishing at The Pier at Folly Beach tomorrow. Can’t wait to see everyone there.

You are so courageous and I am inspired by your dedication and drive. I will be praying for both of you and those whom you have influenced. I wish so much that I could be in Charleston in person, but you will be in my heart. I have just returned from vacation today and have found out about your website, etc. It will take days to see all the great pictures and commments, but I will get it done!

Please know that Chip’s mom is with you all the way.

My best wishes and many blessings,

Well Danny, Drew, Ken, Butch-I must admit I was skeptical in the beginning but you all proved me wrong. I appreciate your work to bring The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society message to so many. I have enjoyed following you along and appreciate your friendship. We must get together soon to catch up and share stories of your trip. I am sorry I will not be able to be there tomorrow but know that we support you and are glad to have you home safe and sound!

Sincerely,
Paul Jeter

Danny and Drew – You must be so excited. What a ride you’ve had and you have touched so many people. I have followed your blog every day since you left. I’m going to be just a little sad not to be able to check in on you every morning! We’ve been following your fantastic journey and are happy to hear that Danny is back on his bike! Congratulations on making it back into South Carolina – that is such an accomplishment and you both must feel great.
What an adventure you will have to look back on. We are all so proud of all that you have accomplished. You should be very proud of yourselves. Stay safe!

WOW!!! Just a two more days to go. What an impressive journey I had the privilege to follow. Lance Armstrong has nothing on you…
