About The Book

At the start, it all looked uphill… In Spring 2001, Tim Wambach stopped by a school district office on a whim and put in an application to be a substitute teacher – but that’s when the wheel of fate began to roll. 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. The teacher was in for the biggest lesson of his life. Four years later, Tim Wambach was running across America trying to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by some of America’s most valuable citizens.

“Tim and Mike formed a friendship at that middle school, a bond that has continued – that has moved forward – 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. “ – from the foreword, by Denis Berkson, co-author of 10 Demandments of Creativity – Parents Edition (and Mike’s dad!)

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. – Mike Berkson
