Shaun and Shamus rolling with the wind
To commemorate Father’s Day, Dimity and Sarah are joined by Shaun Evans, a dad who is setting off from Seattle on July 4 to run across the country. As if running 3,200 miles in two months isn’t impressive enough (here’s the math: 53-55 miles/day for 60 straight days!), Shaun tells how he’ll be pushing his 8-year-old son, Shamus, who has cerebral palsy, in a deluxe stroller for most of the miles. Shaun shares how the epic journey, dubbed the Power to Push Run Across America, was dreamt up by Shamus after the father-son stroller-duo won (!!) a 6-hour ultramarathon together. Shaun talks about the power to endure and how the Power to Push will be helping other kids, “roll with the wind,” as Shamus sees it. And find out what part baseball plays in this inspirational cross-country trek.

Wonderful story! Looks like these two will be rolling through my neck of the woods (Cleveland area) at some point. I’d be happy to bring them a hot meal. Please contact me if this would help.
My cousin and his family spent a summer biking across America. They didn’t pack enough inner tubes to get through Montana and Wyoming! Something called a groat head sliced up the tubes. Also, I am hoping to see you in Monroe, Wi in August! Good luck Team Shamus!!!!!
I loved this podcast so much that I told my boys about it during breakfast today, and we are going to follow their journey. Can’t wait to hear the follow up podcast!
