Andrew absolutely made it in my books, may his soul rest in peace and may god watch over his loving family.

May God give his family a man who is worthy of being therefore tor them, to me a person who risks their life to raise money to saving a child with cancer, or risk life and limb for a cause which is for another person is indeed a hero and a champion to humanity, however a person who is an adrelaine junky no matter how lovely they are have a problem, in that something is lacking in themselves they will sacrifice everything their family, their health, their future all for the sake of a prizxe or glory. Being GREAT is about caring for those who depend on you, not wanting a trophy sitting on the mantal piece. Rest in Peace, I pray in your next life you understand being a hero is about doing whats right for others, not about being a glory hunter.

So kurz davor.........

Ich habe ebenfalls die Dokumentation gesehen und war zutiefst bewegt. Besonders schrecklich fand ich die Tatsache, dass er selber die Entscheidung diese Tour durchzuführen bereut hat! Aber es gab kein Zurück! Er wollte mehr für seine Familie da sein, aber er konnte dies leider nicht mehr. Meine Gedanken gelten der Familie und besonders seinem kleinen Sohn, der sich nie an seinen Vater erinnern wird. Andrew, Du hättest nie fahren sollen!!!

You are unique

Andrew, like so many others, chose to put his self centered goal ahead of his physical well being. I have no problem with that per se. My problem is when the people who do this do so after bringing a child in to the world. Children don't ask to be born. When Andrew and his wife decided to be parents, they gave up the right to roll this dice with their mortality. There are enough threats to life and health without undertaking something that had such a high risk of death. Don't even get me started about his wife, who said that she didn't feel that she had the right to ask him not to go. Gee, thanks mom.
