…on why he backed the project:

“Matt had the courage to actually do what many of us only ever allow ourselves to daydream. Whether it’s walking across Turkey, starting a new business, or manning a mission to Mars, the world is better off with more dreamers that have the courage to do. Supporting Matt’s efforts is a way for me to hopefully inspire others, including myself, to do the same.”

Thank you Mark!

If you are enjoying following this trip and want to continue seeing it unfold, the time to back it on Kickstarter is now. The time is not later when I’ve gone dark and am trying to come up with a Plan B. The time is now.
