Death by Dribble !

[size=12pt]An American trying to dribble a football from Seattle to Brazil in time for the 2014 Brazil World Cup :

has died less than two weeks into his trip.[/size]

Richard Swanson hoped to travel through 11 countries including Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia

                                     

Richard Swanson, 42, was hit by a truck in Lincoln City, Oregon.

His football was found nearby... :'(

"It will be a trip of a lifetime where I will push myself further then I ever thought possible,"

"I felt destined that I should go on this trip,"

he wrote on his website.

He had lost his job in graphic design, after switching from a career as a private investigator.

He was having "a hard time" finding another job and it had given him time to :

"think about what you want out of life".  :-[
