“My big day is only a week away and I’m looking to make sleeping arrangement as I head south. I plan to head to Portland first then head west to the pacific coast. Then follow the pacific coast all the way down before cutting over to Brazil. If any one has friends or family that would be interested in hosting for a night that would be awesome!” –April 24 –Richard Swanson

Update from “Team Richard” as he called us):
We want to express our most sincere gratitude on behalf of Richard’s family, friends, and Team Richard for all the condolences, love, and continued support that the world has given to Richard Swanson. We are sure he is smiling down at all the posts, kind words, and love being shared.
He was so thankful for the generosity of each person he met along the way. He not only shared his excitement in his daily posts, but he always made time to tell his team how much he loved meeting each person along the way and how you all touched his life. He was excited everyday about his continued growing support. If he could see his page now! We are so proud of him.
We wanted to share a couple of updates with all who love him. Richard is donating his organs. He would appreciate that his super x-ray vision and beautiful blue eyes will give new life to someone and give them super powers too.
Seattle: We would like to have people gather at Die Bierstube, 6106 Roosevelt Way NE, in Seattle this Sunday, May 19th (Richard’s birthday) from 1-4 p.m. to celebrate the life of Richard Swanson. We are hoping to pack the establishment with people who loved him and was inspired by him! Please join us to celebrate the start of Richard’s Journey to Brazil.
