My Son and I are going on the ultimate Roadtrip to all 50 states over 500 days all for a good cause.
Hi everyone, Just wanted to update you all on America's Wilderness Challenge! My son and I are leaving in May 2018 on a 50 state 500 day challenge to raise money for America's National Parks, Autism Speaks, and NAMI.
OUR STORY
I am a single dad who gained full custody of my son in 2002, when he was just 2 years old. Being a first time dad and single parent was a challenge that I took on at just 22 years old. His challenge growing up, has been struggling with social skills and anxiety as part of being on the autism spectrum. Over the course of those 16 years, he has become my inspiration and best friend.
The idea for this started in early December 2017. After multiple losses in our family over the past 6 years, our lifelong struggles with anxiety and Tyler’s challenges by being on the autism spectrum. We decided it was time for a change. We were worried if we didn't do something now we might not be here if we wait.
It's just over a month till we launch, our first stop is at Acadia National Park in Maine. We are just about finished with our website and we want to give you guys a first look at it. http://americaswildernesschallenge.com/.
we will have a live tracking feature where you can see where we are all the time, do live giveaways from some of our sponsors, and educate you all on the causes our charities are working on. we are especially excited to share our personal stories with you about our experiences with anxiety and Tyler's (my son) struggles being on the autism spectrum and how we overcome them throughout our challenge.
We are so excited to share our journey with the world. If you want to follow us check us out the links below and please PLEASE share! we cant do this without your support as well. thanks so much.
