this makes me want to root for mr. lewis even more now. even after crashing, just knowing that riding was the one thing that made him truly happy... it all makes me just want to break out in a giant smile.

This is way cool.

I love the article's last line: "He was a warrior, and warriors need wars. For better or for worse."

I would imagine breaking 47 bones, you're breaking a lot of stuff you've never even heard of.

I remember hearing about this when it happened, and just blows my mind he's racing today, both from a physical standpoint and a mental one.

I've broken more bones than I care to count, but 47 all at once! The pain, the rehab, it's difficult to comprehend.

I am now a Craig Lewis cheerleader.
