Publisher's Synopsis
When our son Joey was diagnosed with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 5, we had no idea what kind of obstacles we were about to face as parents, as a family, even as a couple. But with the help of friends and our community, we worked together to blaze a trail over every mountain and molehill that we encountered along the way. By the time Joey was 16, we had collected an arsenal of resources most people would never know they could find, and that's when Joey got the idea to start The Wheeled Scotsman Foundation. This book is a story of our journey, from the struggles of diagnosis and treatments and ultimately the loss of our son, to the power of healing as a family by helping others find the tools to cope with the challenges of disabilities. It is our hope that the lessons we gained from our experiences can help other families find comfort and direction in knowing that they are not traveling this bumpy road alone.
