Your tenacity is just inspiring, Andy.
Your account of the run is fabulous, and like others who have made comments, Yes! There were tears in my eyes too. So glad you had such a great support crew!
Your and Catherine's relationship is just so beautiful! That's what it's all about really! I admire you two for that as well!
I had a little chuckle and say ditto to Julie's comments about "come back and train me!"
WELL DONE!! To you, Andy and the Support Crew, particularly Catherine!
Inspiring to say the least Well done Andrew, Your descriptive talents made me feel like I was there with you. You should all be very proud of yourselves with such a great team effort. It was very clear that the love you and Catherine have for each other was the telling factor that got you through to the finish. Again, well done!
What a wonderful read! I must admit I felt everything you described, and I actually shed a tear too - which shows I have either great empathy or a much lower pain tolerance than you. I sooo hope you come back and train me! Thank you for sharing your adventure so openly with me. I think I'll have to add more to my donation!
Fantastic! I knew you would do it, and I'm extremely impressed by the way you did. When you can walk again we'll have to take you out for a beer to help build you back up!
Cheers
amazing Dubes - you never cease to amaze me...your threshold for pain, tenacity and never say die attitude are phenomenal. Catherine...so goes for you...love the diaries. lets us know when you're headed to India....
Congratulations and thank you... Hi Andy!
Reading your account was a powerful experience. On a MUCH smaller scale, I understand those sentiments about pushing beyond limits and the almost strange euphoria that comes with it. It was an absolute delight to read of your challenges and ultimate success. I applaud and envy your dedication and of your wonderful experience. Truly amazing, congratulations to you and your fantastic support crew. You are all to be admired!

Thank You! I was moved to tears by your story. Thank you first for sharing such intimate thoughts with us - the doubts and the triumphs. I am proud of you as always, but more than anything so moved by yours and Catherine's love for each other. We are all so lucky in this world those of us that find another that both loves and supports us. Mike and I wish we could've been there to support you as well. Congratulations!

Takes me back... to our week in Paris in '04. I agree wholeheartedly that wandering in Paris is the best way to experience it. I hope you get to New York for your next birthday!
What a great weekend - and the photos look great. So pleased your birthday weekend went so well - I know I'll be dreaming about those markets tonite. cheers Lin
We thought a six-month trip around the world in 2001 would cure our travel bug, but alas it only made it worse! So many more places to see and things to do. So we are leaving the sunny skies of Australia for a stint living and working in London. When the time comes we will make the journey home travelling overland from Casablanca to Kathmandu (visiting as many places as possible in between) and a few months volunteer work in Nepal.... full info
