Phillip Nagle Makes It Home after Cycling 8,200 Miles to Raise Money for Cancer Research

We were all waiting by the side of the road, looking into the sun, waiting for the headlights of the police escorts. The news vans and hundreds of people stood on the side of the road waiting for him to arrive. And there he was.

After 8,200 miles through 48 states, Phil completed his journey. He slammed on his breaks, and lifted his bike above his head, but he wasn’t the man that left Tipp City 57 days ago. His body has completely transformed as the result of 8,200 miles of sheer willpower and determination. He grabbed his bike and lifted it over his head in victory with his huge infectious smile. He made it. He’s home.

I watched Phil get swarmed by cameras as he enjoyed the moment and I too snapped away happily, feeling completely inspired, and admiring the human desire to put your head down and grind through it… and realizing that no matter how hard things become, in the end you will cross the finish line with the sun from the west shining on your back. Thanks Phil! You have been an inspiration for us all.
