What a beautiful story to have shared. It's all about you never giving up on your dreams and ambitions. Staying true to yourself and seeking better and how this opens opportunity " Never think if you're not supposed to be there because your supposed to be there' something like that. Wise man from a wise man that seen the world when it was a little darker than now. He believed that there was more out there for him and he made a life rich of so many things, breaking boundaries. Changing fate. So heroic.

I was so struck by the imagery of both men pressing on pedals...a very inspiring story on the surface, and certainly the deeper story of the relationship between grandfather and grandson with lives lived across time and circumstance is touching. A profoundly human story.
