No Wheelchairs in Heaven: Myles De Vos' Courageous 21-Year Struggle With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Myrtle De Vos has been an Avon representative for twenty-seven years. She has won numerous awards including the district award, "The Spirit of Avon." Another important role in her life was being a grandmother to Myles. For his twenty-one years of life, Myrtle and her husband, Herm, were involved in almost every aspect of Myles' day-to-day activities. Myrtle wrote this book to show how people with muscular dystrophy can lead a near-normal life and at the same time be an inspiration to many people. "No Wheelchairs in Heaven" may make you cry, but at the same time you will feel the joy that Myles' friends and family felt by knowing and loving him.
