I Believe I Can Fly: The Amazing Life of Aaron Stephenson

This book is to celebrate the amazing life of Aaron Stephenson. Aaron was born with an extremely rare syndrome but defied the odds to lead a full and active childhood. Diagnosed with a muscle wasting condition at 7 years old, he ignored all the doctors and lived his life to the full. Aaron didn't just meet life head on, but wrestled it to the ground and beat it into submission. He was the one who made sure we went to swim with the dolphins every year. Aaron enjoyed, a wide range of sports, including rock climbing and canoeing. He jetted off to Lourdes a couple of times, loved Disney World and we even went to Lapland to meet Father Christmas where he lives. "Limited" was just not a word that sprang to mind when you thought about Aaron. Aaron did more, and touched the lives and hearts of more people in 14 years than most people could possibly hope to in 90 years. As Aaron's Daddy said to me afterwards, and I have quoted in the book "the only thing worse than losing Aaron would be never to had him in the first place". Peaceful now and swimming with his beloved dolphins for ever, our angel, the brightest star; Aaron. We love you!
