Journey of Courage (English Edition)

The inspirational story of one young man's courageous battle against hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy. Journey of Courage details the struggles and successes of a little boy named Robby from the time of his birth until the present. It details his medical issues and his fight to keep up in school despite developmental delays and physical disabilities. Robby has climbed many mountains in his young life and will climb many more. He continues to inspire those who know him as he faces each obstacle with a smile on his face and a joke for everyone he meets. The book was written by his mother as part of a fundraising campaign to get a service dog for him. Robby has a shunt (the parts and functions are detailed in the book), and when it fails he suffers from seizures. A service dog will help alert his parents when he has had a seizure so that they can seek immediate medical attention. Robby does not qualify for a service dog through the local non-profit agencies due to his age and the fact that his seizures do not occur on a weekly basis. However, one of these animals could save his life. 100% of the author's royalties from this book will be deposited into a special account for Robby's service dog until such time as their goal amount has been reached. Your purchase of this title will help bring a positive change to the life of a very brave young man.
