Florida Man's Uber Eats Quest Across 50 States

0:00A Florida guy named Mike Demaro is chasing a wild goal, delivering Uber Eats food in all 50 states. Originally from Massachusetts, but now based in Orlando, he's already hit 38 states, plus Washington, D.C. He cooked up the plan after turning on the app at a traffic light in New Jersey and landing a quick gig right there. That sparked a massive road trip last year, with his parents, knocking out most of those states across both coasts in just seven weeks. Now he's gunning for the final 12 this year, tying it to America's 250th birthday, he's calling the whole thing 50 for 250. Mike's autistic, and he's using this journey to inspire folks on the spectrum, sharing driving tips and pushing for better support services. With cost rising and programs getting cut, he wants politicians to keep essential health in place for people with disabilities of all ages. The remaining spots include Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Alaska, and Hawaii.

1:00For the last frontier, he's flying into Anchorage to rent a car and start slinging those deliveries, hyping up customers that the food's coming, straight from a Florida driver. Keep an eye on his podcast or Facebook page if you want to track the adventure or show some love. Mike's proving you can turn a simple app into a cross-country movement that lifts others up.
