This summer a 19-year-old college student biked 4,300 miles across America. You may have heard about Emmaus Holder and his FASD Across America tour. Although his journey was solo, he met people along the way – people who knew about FASD and people who didn’t. He spent time chatting with them at gas stations or as an overnight guest in families’ homes. I was asked to interview him along the way, but I wanted to wait until the end.
Until he had some time to reflect on this epic adventure. And I’m so glad I did, and I think you will be as well. We start light, talking about preparing, some road talk and stories, but go a bit deeper on the lessons he learned. What I find interesting is how some of those lessons parallel the journey of caregivers.
This young man set out to be an advocate for FASD, but I think he may just be the spark for the next generation. I don’t think we have heard the last of him. In fact, I hope we haven’t, and he comes back when his research paper is published.
