27. By the grace of God and Jon Taylor McCrary I am alive today. I have been blessed to race in four races in the Transplant Games. I have been blessed to ride my bike from Johnson City, TN to Little Rock, AR. If God so wills, I will ride across the continental United States in 2010. I do not do this for personal fame, but rather to let the world know that a 70 year old man is alive because a 16 year old young man loved him enough to give him the gift of life.
