As some of you know, I recently submitted a story for a collaborative book, "Saving Our Sons, One Story At A Time." Release is planned within the next 45 to 60 days. This book contains 32 stories written by mothers of boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the disease my son Timothy has.
Our story is unique. By the time the book is released, Tim will be 22 years old. Since Duchenne life expectancy is late teens to early twenties, this makes Tim what's called a DMD Pioneer, a man who is beating the odds. We feel honored that Tim story will be in this book. The book cover can be seen here:
For those of you who are interested, pre-orders for this book are now available. Each of the "authors" who submitted a story will get a small portion from these book sales. Tim and I will put ours toward the purchase of a wheel chair lift for the van.
Please be aware, these are pre-orders. The book will not ship until the actual release date 45 to 60 days from now. And please, do not feel any obligation to make a purchase! I'm sharing this with friends of ours that I think might have an interest. If you do, fine - buy a book. If not, that's fine too. Perhaps you know someone else who might be interested.
Orders can be placed here:

Thank you my friends,
