The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.

I'm a coward when it comes to matters of the heart. That is my fatal flaw.

I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn't.

Each person's heart breaks in it's own way. Every cure will be different, but there are some things we all need. Before anything else, we need to feel safe.

I know I felt that way. For years. It was as if I was a character in a movie and the real action was about to start at any minute. But I think some people wait forever, and only at the end of their lives do they realize that their life has happened while they were waiting for it to start.

Let’s not forget Togo! Who, at 12 years old during the serum run, lead his team 200 miles through much more dangerous conditions during the first leg of the journey before Balto ran the last 55-mile stretch.
