Today we had a 60 mile ride into Olathe, KS. We arrived at City Hall where the Mayor of the city proclaimed July 19, 2010 to be Push America Day. We departed City Hall to the Kansas School for the Deaf which was our lodging for the next two days. After showering up we went to Marc Cameron's house to get a tour. When Marc was in his 20's he had a diving accident and broke his neck. His entire house is accessible through buttons that he can press with his head on his wheelchair and through a lift system. Seeing the house really opened my eyes to how someone who is quadriplegic can live independently. That evening we had a huge steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse which was delicious.
The next morning we had an omelet breakfast followed by an awesome friendship visit at a local therapeutic center for children. That night we had a tailgate dinner and went to the Royals game. Scott, Eva, and Nick joined us for the Royals game and it was great to see family. Before the game the team was recognized on the field in-front of the crowd. We went to bed pretty early as we have three 5 am wake ups in a row.
