Join Ken Smith on his journey as he rides his bicycle from the Pacific to the Atlantic to raise funds for his grandson, Jakob Smith, who suffered neurological damage due to numerous seizures after he was born. The doctors gave Jakob only a few years to live with a very bleak prognosis of what those years would be like for Jakob and his family. Twenty-two years later, Jakob is still blessing his family and those around him. Because he cannot speak and needs around the clock care, Ken was moved to come up with a way to help provide for his grandson's future. Thus, the idea for RIDE for JAKOB was born.

This book, hopefully, is designed to inspire you (the reader) to reach your potential to ""go for the top"" and, along this journey, to touch others, enabling them to be the BEST they can be. It's Ken's hope that you can realize through this shared journey that you can be an example to others, young and old, and that you can do and accomplish whatever you want IF you believe in yourself, thanking God for who you are along the way.
