"My journey is definitely picking up some attention from the media. I have had a few interviews and here are some:

People have been very kind to me. I have stayed in military bases, fire stations, hotels, people's homes, etc... I even changed time zones right before Mexico Beach, Fl. That made me feel like I was making some progress. When I stayed at the Ramada they had a big sign "Welcome Ari Ramos!" I felt like a celebrity.

I feel stronger physically. People think it's a physical challenge but in reality its a mental challenge. I am focusing all my attention to this campaign. I am trying to enjoy it the best I can. I have had to figure everything out for myself.

Today, I went to an elementary school and the kids gave me a group hug and told me they loved me. I felt unconditional love from these kids. I cried. I felt like I was doing what I was brought to this earth to do.

To tell you the truth I love doing what I am doing now." - Ari
