The Climb
"... The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking, sometimes might knock me down but, no I'm not breaking. I may not know it, but these are the moments I'm gonna remember most, yeah, just gotta keep going. And I, I gotta be strong, just keep pushing on cuz,
There's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes I'm gonna have to lose. Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb.
Keep the faith, keep your faith - It's all about, it's all about the climb..." — Miley Cyrus
In an effort to ease his burden and get his mind off of the cancer, Adam has been given some really wonderful opportunites. I know the people who have contributed to arranging these special things for him are doing it for same reason as everyone else who says, "If there's anything I can do, please let me know." I can tell you that these people mean this statement and if it is as simple as keeping a smile on Adam's face, then we'll make it happen.
The following are highlights of Adam's climb...
