rollin' across america. |
A documentation of Matt Eddy's attempt to go from Lynn Massachusetts to Long Beach California in an electric wheelchair for the Guinness Book of World Records. More information about the trip and donations can be made at http://www.officialmattsplace.org/ Throughout the trip I am also doing my own documentary which will consist of digital photography, video, and possibly film. Stay tuned! |
LIFE HAS AWAY OF BLESSING YOU JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. TWO YEARS AGO WE MET THE MOST REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN AND MOST DEVOTED FRIENDS ANYONE COULD HAVE. WHAT STARTED OUT TO BE JUST A BIG WAVE AND WELCOME TO NORTH KINGSVILLE HAS TURNED INTO A LIFETIME FRIENDSHIP. I AM SURE MATT THOUGHT WE WERE A CRAZY BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHEN WE WAVED HIM DOWN AN RT.20. BUT WE SO WANTED TO MEET THIS GREAT YOUNG GUY. WE WANTED TO SHARE STORIES OF OUR SON, MICHAEL, WITH HIM AND CHEER HIM ON IN HIS EFFORTS TO TRAVEL CROSS COUNTY. WE FOLLOWED HIM ON THE WEBSITE AND WERE SO THRILLED TO SEE HE HAD COMPLETED HIS JOURNEY. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILARITIES ABOUT MATT AND MIKE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY HIS DETERMINATION IS THE THE STRONGEST ONE. AFEW YEARS HAVE PAST AND DIDN’T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO EVERYONE UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT, JULY 1ST 2010. MY DAUGHTER, NIKKI, CALLED AND SAID MATT IS DOWN THE ROAD FROM OUR HOUSE, GET HOME!! WE ALL WERE THERE AGAIN TO WELCOME HIM “HOME” AGAIN! IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO SEE HIM AND EVERYONE AGAIN. A FEW NEW FACES AND NOW NEW FRIENDS TOO. LOVED SEEING THE DOGS AGAIN TOO. THERE WAS SO MUCH TO SHARE AND SO LITTLE TIME. MATT, RON, DANI, AND DAVID YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND I KNOW YOU WILL SET THIS RECORD. YOU HAVE ALL OF US CHEERING IN YOUR CORNER!!WE KNOW FIRST HAND, HOW DIFFICULT IT CAN BE TO GET BY DAY TO DAY WHEN YOUR DEALT AFEW DIFFICULT HANDS BUT THAT IS WHY GOD PICKS THE ONES HE DOES TO GO ON THIS JOURNEYS!!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU GUYS. KEEP IN TOUCH AND GOD SPEED!!
LOVE, THE MAURO’S
