    On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win Kelly Charles welcomes Dave Sanderson. A business meeting that ended early... That’s how it all began on January 15, 2009, for Dave, a top-notch tech sales manager who spent more time on the road than he wanted, away from his wife and four children. He had finished work sooner than anticipated and wanted to get home. It was the least he could do to make up for the time he spent working two jobs trying to make a better life for them all. He called his travel agent, who was able to procure a seat for him on an earlier flight departing from New York’s LaGuardia Airport for Charlotte, North Carolina. Sanderson boarded, moved down the aisle to seat 15A, and fastened his seatbelt for taking. The night had been delayed as an earlier blizzard in the area cleared. Now it was cold and bright and clear, a perfect day for flying. A few moments later, what happened to US Airways Flight 1549 was to become known around the world as The Miracle on the Hudson. On its initial climb, a  rock of Canada geese collided with the Airbus 320, crippling both engines. Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger knew he couldn’t make it to any of the nearby airports, and there was only one option left: to attempt a water landing and put the plane down safely in the Hudson River. The passengers heard the Captain’s words over the PA system -- “Brace for impact” – and then the plane crashed. In his window seat, Sanderson ascertained how quickly he could get to an exit as the plane started taking on water. But then he heard his late mother’s voice in his head: “If you do the right thing, God will take care of you.” So he made the right choice, staying behind to help people who needed help get o  the plane rest. As one of the last passengers on the plane, Sanderson realized that if the Airbus sank, he might be sucked down into it. He had no other choice but to take a leap of faith...on this day, literally and guratively. Sanderson plunged into the frigid 36-degree waters of the Hudson and started to swim to the nearest rescue ferry heading toward the scene. As the last of his strength ebbed, he was pulled aboard, taken ashore, and rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for hypothermia and an eye injury from exposure to jet fuel. Microscopic time had elapsed from crash to rescue to his trip to the hospital, where the medical sta was concerned that he might die. “It took only 30 minutes for my life to change forever,” Sanderson said. He explains it in the simplest of terms: an extraordinary event that changed the life of one ordinary person forever. To learn more about Dave visit http://davesandersonspeaks.com/.

    On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win Kelly Charles welcomes Kyle Bryant. Kyle was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) at age seventeen and found that as the disease progressed he had to give up the sports so interwoven in his life growing up in Northern California; sports such as golf, baseball, basketball and football.  When Kyle's FA had progressed to a point where it became unsafe for him to continue riding his bike, he put a stop to the loss of the activity he cherished.  He took back control, purchased a recumbent trike, and resumed his riding with passion. Kyle started small with an initial ride of 7 miles.  However, fueled with a passion for pushing the limits and do more with his life Kyle built up to a century ride (100 mi in a day) within four months of his first ride.  Upon completion of his first time, he decided that the sky was the limit. In 2007 Kyle founded Ride Ataxia with a 2,500-mile 59-day ride from San Diego, CA to Memphis TN. The goal of the ride was to raise awareness and much-needed research funds for FA, a disease that has no treatment, no cure, no hope…until now. Kyle and Ride Ataxia did not stop in Memphis.  Kyle’s cycling feats include Sacramento to Las Vegas, NV, Portland, OR to Seattle, WA, and completion of Race Across America in which his four-man team finished the 3,000-mile race in 8 days, 8 hours, and 14 minutes. With his trike as the vehicle of change, Kyle took his hopeless situation of no treatment, no cure, no hope and turned it into an opportunity to do something great for himself and many others. In 2009 Kyle became the Spokesperson for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) in their mission to cure FA.  With Kyle as the program director, Ride Ataxia has become FARA’s Marquee fundraising event with challenging yet family friendly bike rides all over the USA – welcoming 2500 participants and raising $800,000 per year.
