At the start, it all looked uphillΔ

Soon, he found himself face-to-face with a 12-year-old kid named Mike Berkson, a warm, funny, optimistic genius trapped in a body challenged by Cerebral Palsy.

Fear not. I may have problems. But I have no complaints. I find ways to cope. I never dwell on my limitations. Instead, I ponder unlimited possibilities.

¬Tim and Mike formed a friendship at that middle school, a bond that has continued ª that has moved forward ª to this day. Each discovered something within the other that connected them. Each discovered in the other something that inspired them. Such was the basis of the friendship you will read about in this book. My son Mike, and Tim, who is my son in spirit, have a great deal in common, and they are truly pals. ¬
