One More Step

Making the Impossible Possible

De: Bonner Paddock, Neal Bascomb

Narrado por: Bonner Paddock

Bonner Paddock grew up just wanting to be ordinary. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age eleven, he guarded the truth about his health, building a normal life and keeping his secret from everyone—most of all himself—for the next eighteen years. But the sudden death of a friend’s young son due to cerebral palsy forced Bonner to reevaluate who he was and spurred him to pursue one breathtaking experience after another. This pushed him to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro—the tallest free-standing mountain in the world—and to pursue the ultimate adventure: the Ironman triathlon in Kona, Hawaii, the hardest race on earth. Along the way he forged a renewed bond with his family and launched a foundation to help disabled children around the world.

One More Step is a gripping story of human perseverance that demonstrates how our lives are not defined by limits, but by the moments and lessons that push us past them.

“An emotional and action-packed story!” (Kirkus Reviews)

Inspirational Read

As a father to a son with Cerebral Palsy this is truly an inspirational book. I highly recommend this book as it is a testament that even through tremendous adversity you can accomplish almost anything you set your mind to accomplish. S. Madden

Unbelievable journey!

Having been fortunate enough to have met Bonner at an elementary school in Southern California during their inclusion week, I felt compelled to read his book. It was an incredible testament to what he endured and overcame during his acceptance of his CP. Listening to it this time, narrated by Bonner himself, I felt brought along on his unbelievable journey! This is one that I cannot recommend enough! I look forward to sharing it with everyone I know!
Well done Bonner!!!

The Most Inspiring Book I’ve Encountered

I laughed, I cried, I grew more and more inspired every turn of the page. And I’m now determined to become a part of Bonner Paddock’s foundation to continue his inspirational work all founded around and inspired by a sweet angel named Jakey. Wow. And here I am crying again! This is truly one of the most inspiring books I have ever read and the conquering of challenge after challenge made this the ultimate page turner. Put the physical feats aside even- the authentic personal reflection, self growth, and healing journey were so beautiful to witness in and of themselves! I cannot believe all that the author has accomplished on his mission. This book and this project are life changers. Thanks Bonner Paddock and Jakey for inspiring us all to step up and move mountains with our limitlessness!
