Actually, he didnt achieve anything yet.
But this guy sure did! SOme of you may be old enough to recall Terry Fox, an amputee who ran a Marathon a day for 143 consecutive days, in order to raise money.
He never made it to his goal, but he was a true hero. They made a TV movie about it.

Terry Fox is the very definition of perseverence and hope. It is a shame that most of us Yanks don't know anything about him. I lived in Toronto for 2 years and he is (rightly) considered a national hero.

On days where I feel too tired to ride, I just think of things like this and it gets me motivated.

Yea up here Terry is considered a national hero. Every year there are 'Terry Fox' runs all over the country to raise money for cancer research, cool stuff.
Also Dean Karnazes is a pretty tough SoB. He's ran a few races that few here would consider cycling, heh.
