Everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream.

From my childhood, I had a passion for motorbikes.  When I heard the noise, my blood pressure would rise.  I joined a motocross club when I was 10 years old. And through the history of my life, this passion didn't leave me, not even after my ordination.  I was thinking, and many others were thinking, This doesn't work, a priest and a motorbike.  But I dreamed of having a bike.  My Polish friends, when they saw my passion and my wish to have a bike, they donated, and I got the bike.  And in time, I started the organization in Depaul Ukraine, serving the homeless, the "poorest of the poor."  And again, it was again a dream, how a lot of things came together.  How could I fulfill this passion to serve the poorest of the poor.  It came when I was coming back from Poland, having been on a pilgrimage, 30,000 riders strong.  And it was after this ride that I met Loralee.  It was then that we had the idea to take this leap of faith.  Loralee said, "We will use this passion, we will use bikes..."

Our dream was to organize this leap of faith, to bring awareness and fundraising.  In this way, we want to fulfill the dreams of the poorest of the poor, whom we serve in different parts of the world, in the projects of Depaul.

So this is the history. Why am I enjoying it?  Because dreams come true. And we hope that dreams come true for the people we serve, as well.
