We have a son who had two heart transplants and, like you, got very familiar with hospitals and needles. He had a wonderful life, but passed away last June because he didn't feel right about taking a third transplant, given the shortage of donor organs. But as a donor himself, he fulfilled his wish to pass on the great gift of life. We applaud you and thank you for what you are doing. It is easy to admire you for your tenacity and determination to meet your goals and challenges, but your choice to add a great purpose to your endeavors is beyond impressive. I am really really touched and grateful that you are accomplishing what the rest of us just have hoped to do. Your influence will help save and improve lives by the thousands. Thank you, Dear Connor.

Hearing about you and your training calls me to see what I can do to get you some sponsoring from my friend and pH associate. He markets a product called "pHenomenal" that removes the excess Lactic Acid from your body by drinking water! How cool is that?!?! IT is not just any water mind you but one that is 'engineered' to have one of the Hydrogen molecules removed. Doing that makes this water very hungry for that missing Hydrogen atom which just so happens to be what Lactic Acid (pretty much All Acids are Hydrogen) is made of. I start everyday with my pHenomenal water and it just feels good to do that. I hike, kayak, workout, bike etc so this helps me shed that buildup of Lactic Acid that my body makes. I have been doing a lot of research on this acid/alkaline balance our body is always working hard to maintain and I have found that much of our illness seems to stem from being too acidic. I'm sure many folks will have much to say about this and know that there is ample evidence to support this viewpoint. Check out the website I left you and I look forward to further chats. Please say hi to your Mom too. It was also a pleasure to meet her yesterday. Be well Connor. Sincerely, Jim Doolittle SacCityFire Captain (ret) Hi Connor,

I just recently started playing on an outdoor soccer team with your mom on Thursday nights. You're mom is really awesome and she was telling us about your story and how you were doing the Race across America and I was totally amazed as she was telling us the story. She told me about your blog so I decided to check it out and I am so glad I did! What an inspiration you are! You are so strong and you seem like such a happy kid. I hope that MANY people, children and adults, learn through reading your blog that life is short and everyone should enjoy it as much as possible. It takes a lot of strength and courage to go through everything you are going through and still be so positive and active! It is truly and inspiration to read about your adventure. It sounds like you have a really great support group with your family, friends and even teachers!!! I wish you the best of luck on your travels on your bike and in your life. Hopefully I will get to meet you one day. Thank you for sharing your life story, it is incredible. I will be sure to tell my friends to read your blog. Best wishes! ~Kaitlin Hey Connor!
