Purgatory

I took a seat several years ago in Purgatory. Its what I call the gloomy cancer treatment room down in the hospital basement. One in three of us will eventually take a seat here waiting. I feel it is a transportation hub like an airport: one departure is either happily going back to life, the other to death. Beside me today a young girl head in hands was crying. Crying is not so unusual as many do here . She was young and pretty maybe 25 wearing the tell tale breast cancer treatment hospital gown over her jeans and she had no hair. People walked by, nurses doctors all busy like cars just driving by the poor hurt animals I see on the roads. I asked if she was ok or if she wanted to talk or make a puzzle with me. She looked up surprised with her strikingly beautiful green eyes and she even pulled together a little smile. "Thank you. I have been coming here for 4 months for radiation and chemotherapy and today is my last day". They were tears of joy. She made me cry tears of joy with her, because today, for this beautiful young woman, the stairs out of purgatory opened up and she was returning to life. A stronger and more beautiful person that she ever was before or ever imagined she could be..

                   My Journey

    I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
    ​ I have now cycled around  the earth  by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global 0circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km.  My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth.  email:
