Your words last newsletter after such a tragic loss were deeply inspiring. Just wanted to thank you for sharing all these feelings, emotions and ambitions in such an eloquent and poetic way 🙏🙏
So excited for you to embrace adventure once again on the DDF. I took the start line 5 years ago as a 20 year old and coughed my way in la Redoute in about 36 hours with blisters that got the "podologues" all excited haha - what an adventure it was - one I dream of taking on again some day ! Your words about navigating life on the trails, travelling and fatherhood have inspired me to share a few thoughts on Substack myself.
All of this to say that I have never met you yet you deeply inspire me. Go get it, so many are rooting for you ! Win or lose, all happy to follow the adventure - your dad will be pushing you on every step ✨
Ben - you continue to amaze me as an athlete, writer, son, husband, father and incredible human being. Your family, friends & many admirers couldn't be more proud of your accomplishments, your drive, your passion, your commitment and your unconditional love & devotion to your lovely wife and beautiful boy. Your journey so far had been remarkable in every way, yet your future shines even brighter. Wishing you all the best as you seek to conquer Grand Raid de La Reunion yet again. Cheers!
