Any Hope Will Do

Naveen's dad wrote the lyrics to this song and practiced singing it with the girls while we were on the bike ride. They performed for us when we got home. What a sweet memory, singing with Thatha.

I closed my eyes
and started dreaming
Maybe day dreaming
Any dream will do

Far far away
Someone was crying
But the world was ignoring
Any hope will do

I still have faith
in fellow humans
in loving and caring
oh yes yes I do

And in this world
They are still waiting
Faithfully hoping
Any hope will do

It's my Dharma
It's my duty
To lend a helping hand out of love
To help the less fortunate and not abandon them

Open my eyes
Back to the real world
And saw hope glimmering
And some smiling too

Yes you and I
Let us be their light
And be their hope too

Any dream will do

Any hope will do

PAA - Dedication to Keira

An update from the road. Yesterday we rode 110 miles through Yosemite valley and dedicated the ride to Keira and kids and families fighting OMS. It was a long, grueling day but a day that we as parents choose to endure. Kids with OMS don't have a choice, their strength in fighting this disease comes not from choice, but from the will to just be a kid. It's humbling to reflect on this during these long days while we ride. Check out our dedication video below.

Also, as a team Crystal and I (and our friend Eric) are just $5K away from funding another OMS research grant thanks to your support! If you haven't donated, please consider doing so, we can literally fund another project with your support (100% of your donation will go to research).

Donate to Naveen

Donate to Crystal

With love and gratitude, Naveen, Crystal, Keira, and Akemi
