Product Description

Bradley Carlson's muscular dystrophy causes brutal leg cramps that leave him crumpled on the floor. He can't climb stairs and curbs, and sometimes he can't even move. But none of that stopped him from putting his best foot forward and walking through his home state of Wisconsin. He walked through 595 incorporated cities, trekking from Lake Michigan to the mighty Mississippi. During his journey, he experienced his share of falls and challenges, but he also met incredible people, enjoyed special moments, and witnessed the breathtaking beauty of his home state, including waterfalls, desert-like dunes along Lake Michigan, and picturesque mountaintops and forest views. Bradley didn't set out on this journey to raise money or hand out brochures. He simply did it to show himself and others that someone with muscular dystrophy can accomplish great things. You'll laugh, cry, meet new friends, and discover new places in this inspirational memoir about one man's refusal to give up while seeing Wisconsin 1 Step at a Time.

You will be richer for reading this book, February 7, 2012 By  Kathleen D McGwin - See all my reviews This review is from: Wisconsin 1 Step at a Time: Taking Steps to Trample Muscular Dystrophy (Paperback) Wisconsin One Step at a Time is a big story told in an unassuming, gentle way, and one that will leave you richer as you close the last pages on this tale. It's so much more than a travelogue of Wisconsin, so much more than the story of the struggles of Brad who has muscular dystrophy. It's about making committment, telling the truth, accepting challenge, sharing, inspiration, and embracing life. I laughed, I cried, and I was amazed, sometimes all at one time as I read the book. Carlson took a personal journey and tells it with bravado and honesty that endears him to the reader in a way that makes you feel that life is worth the struggle, that there is wonder around every corner, and that there are people who are genuine, kind, and grounded in what is the best about us. Brad Carlson is one of them. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comment
