I'll Push You: A Journey of 500 miles, Two Friends and a Wheelchair by Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuk 280 pages
A very emotion stirring book telling the true story of two life-long friends who travelled the Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile trip through the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain. Add to that that one of the travellers, Justin Skeesuk had a denerating muscular disease that had left him basically a head on top of a non-working body whowould travel in a special 250 lb. wheelchair and who could only contribute verbal support and required completely everything being done for him including carrying his wheelchair over the path when the rocks, etc. made rolling his chair impossible. Through the kindness of strangers all along the way they were able to make it and a film credo recorded their victory over obstacles all along the way. A good story of friendship, loveand commitment. Good book, I recommend it to all ages, middle school up.
