Life's fragile, Red Cross helper sees in Florida after storm The Daily Herald

“All this time later, there’s still all this debris and wire and cable on the ground,” said McMahan, a retiree and former owner of a real estate office in Everett. McMahan also served as a Red Cross board member and is a past president of the Rotary Club of Everett.

This was his third Red Cross deployment, but it was a personal trip before his 60th birthday that was truly life-changing. In 2008, he rode his recumbent bicycle nearly 4,000 miles in 86 days, from Everett to North Carolina, where his mother was in a nursing home.

“It changed my whole faith walk,” said McMahan, who attends North Creek Presbyterian Church. “For all the wonderful things that happened on that bike trip, all the adventures, the most spectacular thing was that God built up my faith, showed me he was real, he was there, and he expected more of me.”

McMahan made the cross-country bike trip again in 2016.
