Paul's a frickin' superman.

Paul,
You truly are blessed! You have struggled your whole life to understand why, how and what were the reasons for you and your best friends conditions. I have heard an abundance of stories of your past friends, and have a piece of understanding the daily struggles it takes to survive. You absolutely are standing tall now for all of your beloved friends who did not have the same success. Not too many people will ever know the life you have lived, but all of us can learn to understand through you how precious it really is. I look forward to seeing you again. An amazing role model you are! Top shelf my friend!
Congratulations to the both of you.
Jordan

Awesome news.

Hey guys, thanks so much for the effusive praise, but honestly, can't take any credit for the incredible blessing!

I feel *so* grateful for the incredible support I have, and am enjoying each and every day. Also looking forward to getting back on the water sometime this spring.

Thanks again!

Paul

Back on the water at Cook Street! Biking racing around. The big smile is out.

That is so very cool, Mr. Underhill

Thanks guys! Wonderful to have all the support. I hope to get down again this evening - can't wait for more!

I loved how the pulmonary function test guy at royal jubilee told me all about you!
Amazing story - what an inspiration! Great seeing you out this summer @ cook st.
Keep it up!

takes one to know one - an inspiration that is! My wife went through HD many years ago - to be kiting through treatment is just insane!

Thanks for the kind words, hope to see you for one more westerly at Cook before summer is over!
