About this ebook
The Last Marathon is the author's experience of his descent into memory loss and his triumphs during his courageous battle back. His story highlights his positive attitude and his "can do" approach to overcoming obstacles he faced not only throughout his life but during his battle with Alzheimer's. The book chronicles Alzheimer's as Ron's final challenge, which he visualizes as the ultimate race-his last marathon. Even though he understands he will lose the war, he continues to win many battles. This humorous, uplifting, and inspirational story encompasses the many successes as well as embraces the dark side of his race against this disease. The author's incentive for writing the book is to encourage, support, and educate others and their families during their own race to the finish line. The Last Marathon includes the training techniques and lifestyle changes Ron applies to his daily routine. He and his doctors feel strongly these strategies are what have contributed to the disease's slow progression and Ron's continued high functioning despite his having virtually no memory.
