Greg shares a personal story about his 15 year old son, Max. This summer, Max and Greg will canoe the Mississippi source to sea. Their relationship, and their trip, are unique. Greg’s son is a former street kid from Myanmar. When Max was 9, Greg and his wife met Max, and through a series of circumstances, ended up taking him into their home, and ultimately adopting him. Their planned Mississippi River trip is not only a great adventure, but an endeavor to contribute to the children of Myanmar. We take this opportunity to talk to both about their planned trip and this unique story.
