My Journey

I'm not Handicapped, I'm Handicapable.
(and no i didnt get that from due date lol)

I left home and drove from nj to california in search of an independent life and safe access to my medicine* so i can live. It's been an interesting journey, lots of ups, lots of downs, and even though I am now weaker than ever...nothing will ever stop me from living my dream, regardless of how long I get to live.

Life is too precious and short to waste time. And I'm Ready.

The three videos below are before and after i left nj, an interview with the Washington Post during my road trip, some audition, and one other one hahaha idk i didnt set up the web site, im kinda lost there :P below that are blog entries! thank you!

Feel free to contact me at all times: mike@mikeywheels.com


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!

The funk is over, i have had many wake up calls.. in the form of messages, emails, and phone calls. I should have never let anyone upset me, and should have realized that before I got upset to begin with...now i just feel silly for lettin it get to me. SO. It's done!

New page, moving forward!

I just ate something (plain oatmeal and brown rice!) and listened to my favorite song (thank you Maria..for your message too, I will be in touch soon). I'm hanging out with my man Jamison Neu, the infamous trick shot dude, and new good friend to me. Im listening to Johnny Cash's I won't Back Down and re-gathering myself. The rain is over now, and tomorrow is a brand new day. I am so greatful for everyone who emailed me and messaged me on facebook, and thank you Lisa, you always know how to help me see through the fog!

My program is being given to me now tomorrow instead of tonight. I sincerely apologize to everyone. I am touched by the love in every email and message i recieve and have not forgotten about a single one. I just need to get to each one at a time once i have my typing program. Thank you for your patience and putting up with me!!!

For tonight, im going to try to rest and get my strength for tomorrow!

Thank you (everyone) for your support and encouragement!

Love,
Mike

Someone once said: what ever you focus on gets bigger and bigger, so choose carefully the subject of your focus!
As for Lisa, she is so special. The best daughter, sister and friend anyone can have!
You are both our priceless gift.
Love you so much.
