A THOUSAND MILES: March 2021

My road came to an unexpected halt on November 9, 2010.

On that day, I was bicycling to work when a garbage truck drove into a Philadelphia bike lane. I was in that bike lane.

A team of trauma surgeons saved my life, but they had to amputate my left leg above the knee. The accident changed my body and health forever.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

These words started me on my journey to walk again. Over time, they became a way of life.

I am a person with ability and disability. I travel in the space between. These are my postcards.

Mile Marker 9393:

What's interesting about your walk?

Ok, go.

Got nothing?

Nope. Me either...

Mile 9385:

How do we move forward in uncertain times?

Yep, it's time to venture out again.

Mask? Check.
Hand sanitizer? Check.
Walking buddy? Check.

At least, some things haven't changed...
