HTML:<b>An inspiring memoir about a father and son entering <i>World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji</i> despite one of them battling Alzheimer’s.<br /> “Travis and Mace have touched a generation of families around the world with their courage, resilience and kindness.”<br /> <i>—</i>Bear Grylls, star of <i>Man vs. Wild</i> and host of <i>World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji</i><br /> “Watching Mark and Travis Macy compete together for <i>Eco-Challenge Fiji</i> was a true inspiration. Travis’s selfless act of taking his father on what may be his last race is a story that anyone can relate to and what we need more of these days.” <br /> —Mark Burnett, chairman of MGM Worldwide Television Group; creator and producer of <i>Survivor, The Apprentice,</i> and <i>World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji</i></b><br /> In October 2018, Mark “Mace” Macy, sixty-four years old, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Mace had spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few people who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Once diagnosed, Mace feared losing endurance, strength, and independence. <br /> Mace's son Travis, also a professional endurance athlete, also struggled to see his father battling the disease. In 2019 they decided to participate in World's Toughest Race—a seven-day, grueling 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle—for one final race together.<br /> Weaving excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, <i>A Mile at a Time</i> tells the story of this incredible journey and what both father and son learned along the way.<br /> A powerful story about living—and thriving—with a disease that impacts nearly six million Americans. This timely, and deeply moving father-son adventure sheds light on the hard truths of this disease while giving readers hope of all that still can be achieved.
