Imagine yourself transfixed into a totally strange, unfamiliar and non-controlling environment¿an environment whose only sound is the constant din of a machine attached to your body. An environment so foreign with malodorous, strange smells and barren, plain blanched walls. Your once Adonis-like physique now captive to an audience not of adoring, envious fans but a steady parade of white-clad staff with whom your only communication is with a hand signal or nod. Such is the journey of Ken Norton¿s transformation from the cocky, self-assured and formidable world champion from Jacksonville, Illinois to a patient in great need of attention. The story of Norton¿s journey¿his physical and mental readjustment and his will to persevere and overcome and win again will inspire anyone who has had to cope with sudden and catastrophic challenges. It is a story not only of hope and overcoming life¿s ultimate challenges but also a spiritual journey of a man who found himself and in turn touched the lives of others.
