Description

If you are into running, biking, triathalon, adventure racing or just cool stuff in general - this is the book for you. If you have a loved one who is going on a journey with Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia, this is the book for you!


In their memoir, A Mile at a Time, Mark and Travis Macy share their love for adventure racing and extreme sports as they navigate Mark's diagnosis with Alzheimer's Disease. In today's episode, I share my review of this incredible story of love, friendship, resilience, and courage.


This is an especially meaningful book and episode for me, as when I watched the Prime series, World's Toughest Race (where Mark and Travis compete), I was going on my own journey with Dad as he was faced with Dementia. This book and tv series are a wonderful reminder of the magic of love and the special bond between friends and family - none of which are diminished with time, age, or illness.


This is not a depressing episode of loss on grief, but rather one of hope and inspiration. I hope you enjoy it. :)
