{"product_id":"9780978696368","title":"Discovering Life After Alzheimer's: The 26,000 Mile Ride","description":"My motorcycle ride of 26,264 miles took 12 months to complete. \u003cbr\u003eOur journey through Alzheimer's Disease lasted for several years. \u003cbr\u003eMy six children and I cared for Lois at home through the entire journey. \u003cbr\u003eShe passed away on March 27, 2014. \u003cbr\u003eWhen the kids asked, \"What will you do now Dad?\" \u003cbr\u003eI said, \"I think I'll go for a little ride.\" \u003cbr\u003eWe discovered there is indeed life after Alzheimer's and Lois would have wanted us to live it fully. This we have tried to do and the stories of both the motorcycle ride and the journey through Alzheimer's Disease are told in this book.\u003cbr\u003eOur six children, their spouses, the 19 Grandchildren, and the dozen or more Great Grandchildren all shared in the ride across America through the www.RightLaneAmerica.com Blog and through the Facebook group Where In The World Is Grandpa.\u003cbr\u003eFrom skidding out of control at 70 MPH on the interstate, to inching my way up a coastal mountain range in dense fog at 10 MPH, this was an epic adventure.\u003cbr\u003eTo the thousands of people who saw the sign that read:\u003cbr\u003e \"80 Year Old Iron Butt Challenge Rider - 1000 miles in 24 Hours\"\u003cbr\u003eand gave me a smile, a wave and a Thumbs Up, I say Thanks for sharing the ride with me.\u003cbr\u003eTo the members of the United Sidecar Association and the Iron Butt Association, we say thanks for your support and encouragement. \u003cbr\u003e Sharing the adventure with the children and grand children was as important as the ride itself. \u003cbr\u003eAs they had shared in our family journey through the abyss of Alzheimer's Disease, so they now discovered with me, there is Life After Alzheimer's and that we should live it fully and well. \u003cbr\u003eThe year long motorcycle trek across America was a great adventure for an 80 year old biker.\u003cbr\u003eNow it's your turn. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did. \u003cbr\u003eMay your ride be and long, and may your Love Song Never End.\u003cbr\u003eDel Lonnquist","brand":"Mt Sky Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49988753391856,"sku":"9780978696368","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780978696368","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
