The Impossible Mile: The Power in Living Life One Step at a Time

Written by Johnny Agar and Becki Agar

Narrated by Mike Gallagher and Scott Van Pelt

An incredible story of Johnny Agar, born with cerebral palsy and whom doctors thought would never walk, overcoming the odds to compete in Ironman triathlons. Featured on ESPN, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and other media outlets, Johnny delivers a moving memoir that is a testament to the power of family, faith, and extraordinary courage.

Johnny’s story shows the impact of a life lived to its fullest, from the first difficult steps in training, to becoming a brand ambassador for global apparel company Under Armour. He now serves as an inspiration for not only other professional athletes, but for anyone facing their own impossible mile. Come walk a mile in Johnny’s shoes, and realize, as Johnny did, you never walk alone, and anything is possible, if you’ll just take on life one step at a time.

There are plenty of books out there about motivation. I have read and listened to many. I however, have never experienced the roller coaster of amazing emotions this book took me through. After listening to the Agar family story:
1- I could never find an excuse big enough to make me stop going forward in life and growing. 2- I was reminded of what’s truly important and that quality time with family is what I need to focus on.
3- I am coming out of a journey with my mental health and I feel this book has transformed the way I’m tackling my constant recovery.
Thank you Agar family.

This was an incredible read! After reading the book I got to see Johnny and his family speak at a conference and their family is amazing. This book is so inspiring. The Agar Family is truly one of a kind!

Even if you have limitations, with the support system of family, friends, and belief in yourself, the impossible can be accomplished!
