THE WALK
IN ONE OF BILL’s MOTIVATIONAL TALKS, HE SPEAKS ABOUT THE IMAGE CAPTURED BELOW AND WHAT WAS LITERALLY GOING ON AROUND HIM; AS WELL AS WHAT IT STOOD FOR METAPHORICALLY TO HIM.
Dr. LEININGER - WHO WAS BILL’s CONCIERGE DOCTOR FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS DURING HIS STRUGGLES; AND WHO MET WITH BILL ON A weekly basis for nearly two years - HAD THE FOLLOWING to say about Bill;
“BILL’s story is one the most incredible displayS of the human spirit I’ve seen. Thirty years as a doctor and I have never witnessed what I did with Bill’s recovery. I have to believe in science, as a medical professional; but Bill proved that while science is needed, sometimes it’s that which none of us understand that can make people overcome the impossible. I was one of the lucky ones in that I witnessed it first-hand. People need to hear his story to bring them hope. Especially during these trying times. Because Bill went from a daily battle with death to a walking miracle.”
-Dr. Leininger;
“I DIDN’T HEAR NO BELL!”
-Bill WAS ATTEMPTING TO COMPLETE A MAJOR HIKE DURING HIS JOURNEY TO RECOVERY WHEN HE YELLED OUT THIS FAMOUS QUOTE FROM THE ‘ROCKY’ FRANCHISE.
