“Dad was 64 when he was diagnosed and it was a lot for us to grapple with. “You expect at some point in your life that the roles are going to shift between parents and their adult children, and for us that happened pretty early,” Macy said. After I finished college in 2005, I got into adventure racing, and did many similar multi-day races all around the world, but never the Eco-Challenge.”Īlthough he kept his determined stubbornness in the face of his diagnosis, dealing with Alzheimer’s is not easy for the diagnosed individual nor for their family. “Dad would record the races on VHS and I would watch them in our basement while I lifted weights. “Dad did eight Eco-Challenges between 19, which were formative years for me as a teenager,” Travis Macy said. Ultra-endurance sports have always been a part of the Macys’ lives. Thursday at The Bookworm of Edwards, author Travis Macy will share the incredible true story of he and his father’s journey hiking, climbing, biking, and paddling the 400-mile Eco-Challenge race over seven days, which shows the truth of living, and thriving, with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. When ultra-endurance athlete Mark “Mace” Macy received his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2018, he decided to enter the World’s Toughest Race Eco-Challenge Fiji with his son anyway, and the two wrote an inspirational book about their experience.
