my message to the mikeywheels facebook group, i thought i would put it here too
i lot of people think i am sad because of my last message to the group members, i would just like to reassure everyone, not like its a major topic or concern, but since im here, and mikeywheels exists, i will be consistent with what i decided to do, which was speak my heart. I am losing my ability to drive truthfully, i am like a grumpy old mad who doesnt wanna give up driving, but knows he should...soon. And i knew this time in my life would come. But from Mikey....where Wheels are my life, its a huge transition, especially to go along with the physical transformation my body is undergoing lately. Im not sad, im just in transition. I Love life and all the wonderful beautiful things it keeps offering me. I need to be grateful for every mile that van gave me, and keeps giving me till i cant drive it anymore. And then be grateful that i even had it in the first place. I am beyond lucky to have that van, It cost $101,000 just for it to be born. The government helped with 48k but since then its been 20K+ since i had it, and i Have my father to thank for that. In a nutshell, im lucky, and blessed, and if i sound sad, im just doing some self reflecting, helping me center myself, and im sharing it with you. why? i dont know! but the wheels keep turnin!! if not the van, it will be my chair, or another persons car, or a bus, or who knows what else.... either way. I just needed a vent and a reality check.
I'm sound as a pound baby. I just set myself back where i want to be :)
Thank all 1000+ of you! Its surreal to share your life with so many people, its incredibly beautiful what happens
thank you
love
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!
