Overview

Diagnosed when he was not even a year old, Bob Mutchler understands firsthand how life-altering polio can be. Yet he and his family refused to let the challenges of this debilitating disease affect his future. As an adult Bob combined his membership in Rotary International and his love of motorcycle riding to help with The Rotary Foundation's commitment to provide polio immunization to children everywhere through a program called PolioPlus. This is the gripping story of a man who knows from his own experiences exactly what a world without polio can mean to children and families. Crisscrossing Australia and North America on his motorcycle, Motorcycle Bob shares his own personal struggles as he tirelessly dedicates himself to the eradication of polio worldwide. All proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to The Rotary Foundation's PolioPlus program.

Author Information

Lynda was born in New York and grew up in Los Angeles, spending thirty years as a Marriage and Family Therapist before devoting herself full time to her specialty in mental skills coaching for athletes. She currently resides in Seattle, Washington with her husband, Terry, where their four grown children also live. Her first book, Two-Up: Navigating a Relationship 1,000 Miles at a Time, recounts their first three years together, a second marriage for both of them. Lynda moves from novice to experienced passenger as they build their relationship while simultaneously learning to ride together as a team in the world of long distance motorcycling. Her unique perspective as a mental skills coach for athletes and competitor adds a new dimension to motorcycling literature. Lynda's column, Perspective, appears in the Iron Butt Magazine, a publication dedicated to the sport of safe long distance riding. She and Terry still ride together, although now on separate bikes.
