The Cibola County Beacon reports that Dennis Kinch, the man who’s walking west on Route 66 for the National Pain Foundation, discovered that his specially designed wheelbarrow and harness had been stolen as it sat outside his motel room in Grants, N.M.

A photo of Kinch with his old custom wheelbarrow is above.

A company found out about Kinch’s plight, gave him a new wheelbarrow and cash so Kinch could buy new supplies.

The newspaper said Kinch didn’t seem rattled or angry about his loss.

“We are given pain,� Kinch said, “but it’s up to us if we want to suffer.�

He said that, for him, there is grace to found even in pain. “When I resent, then all this negative stuff begins to happen. When I rejoice, the world’s happy.�
