Just got into Miami, looong drive. A few setbacks and car issues, but we're here and safe so can't complain! Very tired, and am editing the past few days. Hope to have it up by tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I learned a lot during the last few days. I look forward to sharing it with those of you who are reading this. We've been offered shelter from our friend Kevin, he along with many others have been more than generous by offering us a place to stay across the country. It means more to me than anyone could know. Thank you all
Peace and Love and Appreciation,
Mikey
Help to save Mikey's life
As you know, Mikey has always been able to smile through the pain, no matter what, until recently. The pain in his stomach is now worse than ever and has led to an inability to eat, causing rapid weight loss. At 6'1", he's a meager 75 lbs and dropping fast. It's getting more difficult for Mikey to smile through the pain and fear.
One of the only places where Mikey can get help is the MAYO clinic in Minnesota. There, a team of specialized doctors will work together to figure out how his illnesses affect each other and can be treated to restore health and balance to his body so he can keep living his incredible life.
All of this obviously comes with a large amount of costs, which can only be covered with the help and donations of as many people as possible – even if it's just a dollar. Please click on one of the two following links to access the crowd funding campaigns that will help Mikey get better. Thank you!

Oh yes, you are where you need to be baby in sunny and warm Miami. Wish I was there too with you!
And Matthew, can't thank you enough for making this trip with Mike, it's his dream come true and you made that possible. You are a wonderful friend and a great person. Thanks for being in our lives.
I love you you both

Hey Mike, I know I barely knew you in HS but I've been reading up on your blog and I think it's awesome. All the more power to you. I hope your trip goes well and you have a blast. Keep the updates coming.

Hey sweetie!
I can only hope that I can grow up to be like you...although I may have missed that window of opportunity! I love you and wish I could make the computer crap go away, but you know that I barely know how to check my email...but why Kansas??? It is cold and dreary! STAY SOUTH! There are roads that go west but without the weather! Travel safe!
Love ya...Susie P
