I discovered that Ryan had dreams of becoming a professional race car driver from childhood but these dreams were stifled in a doctor office as he was told that the physical demands of operating a car for several hours in heats often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit were incompatible with someone requiring medications for glucose control. In the midst of the sadness of being told his dream was over, Ryan embarked on a mission to see if his aspirations were declared dead prematurely.
