My Thoughts on Mike
Mike found me through my website. He was researching for a project of his own. He was preparing to do the Calendar Year Triple Crown. That’s the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail, over 8000 miles in one calendar year.
Mike was impressed with the One of Seven Project and its message. I was equally impressed by Mike’s “Disrupting Age Model” Project, as Mike is 71 years old! Mike is one of those people who don’t sit idly on the side lines. He understand that his health and happiness depend on him continuing to do the things he loves, his passions.
Like the One of Seven Project, Mike’s Triple Crown Challenge is about breaking down barriers and motivating others to take a look at their own lives. Hopefully the result is Mike can motivate others to follow their passions no matter their age.
Mike will be starting the Appalachian Trail on Feb. 5th on Springer Mtn. in Georgia. You can follow Mike’s progress at the social media link below.
