Every once in a while you come across a really inspiring teenager. One who has the maturity to spend time doing things other than copying Jack Ass stunts, to think beyond what he's going to buy next to show off to his friends. Well one of those teens happens to be my cousin's (Lonny's) cousin on the other side of the family. Relatives on my side of the family (myself included) are... uh not so outstanding, but I digress.
His name is Bevan Barton. He's a senior (that means he's in grade 12 for my Canadian readers) at a prep school in Oakland and an accomplished athlete. He's planning to defer college one year and ride his bike around the world starting this summer to raise money for AIDS reasearch. Check out his web site http://www.rideagainstaids.com/

that's pretty motivating.
thanks for posting about Bevan's trip. He was in the Oakland Tribune, front page of the Cityside/Business section: http://www.insidebayarea.com/timesstar/localnews/ci_2667285
