In 1981, Tom Lambke's son Bryan was born with Down syndrome. It soon became obvious that young Bryan shared his father's avid interest in sports.

Fourteen years later, Bryan stood atop the winner's platform, a gold medal winner at the 2003 International Special Olympics in Dublin, Ireland. In Spirit, Courage, and Resolve, Tom Lambke recounts the inspiring story of this young man.
