Day 105 – Antonn

My eyes are very tired from two days of photography, and I’ve still got a lot of photographs to go through and process, but Antonn deserves special mention. Antonn is sixteen years old and the sweetest kid. And he’s true to his word.  He promised that he would provide music at the MOR event, and yesterday, when he realized he didn’t have a ride, he strapped his guitar to his back and hopped on his bike to ride the twenty miles from Dayton to Silver Stage High School where the event was being held. One of our key organizers saw him peddling in the cold and wind as she was driving in. She caught him at about the ten-mile mark. If she hadn’t seen him, he would have pedaled the entire twenty miles. We had a lot of dedicated volunteers for this event, but this kid gives special meaning to the phrase “going the extra mile.”
