About the Author
I have been on this journey since 2009 and am all too familiar with the impact addiction has on a family. In the early stages of this experience I was nearly destroyed financially, professionally and personally. If it wasn’t for the successful achievement of the cycling challenge I gave myself –who knows where I would be today. Dave Cooke – 100pedals.com
