Diabetic Inspires Diabetics and Defies Doctors by Circumnavigating US (9000 miles only)
Bob Scheidt was diabetic from 17. He was told by doctors that he had at most 25 years left and was told to take it easy. He had an attitude. He proved him wrong on both counts.
33 years later he is 4 days away from circumnavigating US. In his inspirational and spiritual 9000 mile journey he has managed to raise about $80,000 for five charities, including the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, the American Diabetes Association and the Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association.
His primary goal is to provide inspiration and motivation for diabetics.
“If I can inspire someone to (walk) a couple of miles a day,” Scheidt said, “I know I’m making a difference.”
