The Face of Strength and Determination

Steve — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:16:55 +0000

I have ridden in the MS150 City to Shore bicycle tour to benefit multiple sclerosis for close to 20 years. This is a two day, 150-mile charity tour from Cherry Hill to Ocean City New Jersey and is always a great time. It is by far one of my favorite events to do each year.

One of the appeals of the MS150 is the fact that this is a very “friendly” ride in that riders of all walks and of all ages and athletic abilities are welcome and encouraged to participate. It is a great training ride for some, and an epic happening for others. The event attracts everyone from weekend warriors and serious athletes, to first timers and even entire families on every type of bicycle imaginable.

The MS150 also has a very unique and special feature. One that is so special that other riders flock to get a glimpse or snap a picture just to prove to others that this phenomenon actually exists.

Rather than me even attempt to do this amazing individual’s story any justice, click HERE for the full scoop. You too will be touched.

Who is Shawn Anderson?

Steve — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:00:25 +0000

Shawn is unique as a motivator and author in that he just doesn’t talk the talk…. He lives it. Shawn blew through Delaware last week and a friend of mine had the opportunity to meet him and learn a little more about his mission. I thought I would share.

Reinforcing his own commitment to make a difference and encourage the “extra-mile message,” Shawn will be pedaling the U.S. ocean-to-ocean solo in order to positively encourage others who may need a lift in their individual lives.

A “possibilty thinker” and a self-billed “Battery Charger of the Human Spirit,” Shawn has a lifetime mission of empowering 1,000,000 people to lead a more positive and purposeful existence. Author of SOAR to the Top and most recently Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life’s Chaos, Shawn is passionate about empowering others to maximize their goals and fulfill their personal potential.

Shawn, 46, is also hoping that his extra-mile cross country effort can spark an extra-mile trend for others in their mid and older years to exercise.

“Although I am a fitness advocate, I am neither a regular bicyclist nor a race enthusiast. I exercise solely to be healthy. In 1998, I did bike the U.S. ocean-to-ocean as a challenge to myself; however, my novice status as a cyclist is confirmed by the fact that I bought my bike the day before I left! From the completion of that cross-country ride through March of this year (2009), I have ridden a bike for no more than 50 miles.”

“My exercise and fitness foundation has always been as a runner. I jog 3-6 miles 5+ days a week as I have for over 20 years. For this cross-country ride, however, I am getting my “seat” used to the bike much sooner than before!”
