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!

School shootings

My heart goes to the families of the students, it really does. There are tragedies every day all around the world. Millions of innocent people are killed all the time worldwide. Instead of just stewing in it, lets be thankful for the life we have today and not talk about it for eternity. Its literally all I saw when I logged into Facebook. If all we focused on was the bad news, where do we leave room to see the OTHER side of life? It's good and bad, beautiful and ugly, and everything although we may not like it happens for a reason, maybe awareness. Maybe it's just the way of the universe. Be thankful today and every day, think about what you have compared to others, life... it may be your last, trust me i know :) yesterday I saw inspiration and photos and beautiful things on here for the brief time I was on. Lets get back to that and be thankful for what IS. There is too much negativity in this world to focus on. We need to work on being peaceful with each other, this is yet another wake up call. I hope one day, hopefully as my friend Adam said, we wish these words don't have to be said regarding the shooting, that there wasn't this sad news. But we must live in the present. And be thankful for that breath that we take, and the senses we feel. Lets be grateful for this beautiful thing called life. Remember the bad, but focus on the beauty that is everyone and everything. Lets not let a few sick people overtake our minds. One love.
