John Ayers was fifty years old when he was suddenly stricken by a mysterious crippling disease. After he lost the ability to walk it might have seemed that life as he had known it was over. Unwilling to accept that fate, fueled by reckless optimism and tirelessly supported by his wife and three children, he made a bold and sometimes risky quest to not only walk again, but to run.
