People Magazine called Bob Wieland "one of the six most amazing Americans of the past 20 years."How many people have biked or walked across America? Bob has done both ... with no legs. Through seemingly insurmountable adversity,
Bob has persevered. From his miraculous recovery in the hospital, to his three-year, eight-month and six-day walk across America on his hands,
Bob has proved his message that "Through faith in God, determination, and dedication, a person can achieve anything."
He has always said, "The joy is in the journey." He completed the grueling Iron Man Triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26-mile marathon) on his arms. He has no peers in human achievement.
Bob Wieland, who lost his legs in Vietnam 34 years ago, finished the Los Angeles marathon Saturday, March, 8, 2003, after 173 hours and 45 minutes. It took 57-year-old Wieland of Arcadia, Calif., more than one week to cover the more than 26 miles. He used only his hands and torso.
THIS IS TRULY AMAZING!!!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR, EVER AGAIN, SOMEONE TELL ME HOW HARD OR HOW DIFFICULT SOMETHING IS.
MY MINDSET IS CHANGED FOREVER!!!
WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE FOR THE DAY!
