Incredible read, highly recommend!!
Fighting towards Victory is a powerful and uplifting look into life with Becker Muscular Dystrophy — not just the diagnosis, but the day-to-day strength, resilience, and humanity that come with it. After my own son was diagnosed with BMD I began meeting people in the community through online platforms. Brad was one of the first to quickly respond to my many questions. Without fail Brad kindly shared his experiences and gave me so much hope and comfort. I was so happy he published his first book and I read it quickly! In his book he shares his journey from early childhood and diagnosis, through school challenges into adulthood, love, marriage, incredible loss and beyond, with a level of honesty and warmth that makes the story incredibly relatable and real.What I appreciated most was the insight into the emotional and practical challenges of living with Becker muscular dystrophy — but also the humor, love, and positive perspective that shine through. It’s not just about a condition; it’s about a life well-lived and so much growth when faced each day with challenges many of us take for granted.The updated version of the book includes even more stories and reflections, adding depth and making an already great read even more impactful! This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to better understanding of day to day life, overcoming challenges brought on by neuromuscular disease and anxiety or simply just to be inspired by someone who lives with grace, courage, and purpose and is fighting towards victory!Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Becker Muscular Dystrophy Fight
This is a great book to read, and as someone who has Beckers Muscular Dystrophy, it shows how much we have in common. It’s funny how Brad’s story and mine are similar in many ways. Brad, thank you for sharing your story.
