I'm an In almost a years time I'm going in a race.

Ah, but you are thinking, that's nice but why should I care... Well I have CMT Type 2D which means I'm missing the use of some quite useful nerves. My thumbs are not totally useless but not too far off, and I cant lift my feel properly. These two things may cause some issues with the kayaking, mountain biking, and walking/running sections which make up most of the event.

I'm racing the Mountain Designs Geoquest, Geohalf. It's going to be about 25 "ish" hours of sleep deprivation, thrills and exhaustion.

Geoquest is an adventure race and if you want to know what that entails look Here

I'm not doing this to prove to anyone including my self that a disability is not the end of an active life but I am writing this blog to show people especially others with CMT, what you can do when you forget you are disabled. 

Adventurer and expedition medical specialist Mike Stroud once said " what makes people like Me and Ran different is instead of approaching a idea with I cannot, we approach it with Why can't I"

so, Why can't you?
