Paul Sanchez, who had Learning Disabilities as a child, rode 10,000 miles on a bicycle (I presume just one) around the US, passing through 32 states, 13 major cites, and many landmarks to raise awareness of LD. He rode the tour alone. He met with kids along the way. He recorded his tour on video and has made parts of it available on his blog. He plans to make a documentary and donate proceeds to Learning Disability organizations. You can see some of the video already.

John,
Thanks for your comment on my vlog. Also I wanted to thank you for doing a post about my vlog (video blog). I really enjoyed reading your post about “Student teacher’s view of LD” by Greg. It would be really cool if you used secure-image the word-press plug-in for commenting. You really have to do some work to comment on your blog (with the whole registration thing). Here is the link to secure-image:

Thanks again. Have a great day.
Paul Sanchez
