Real Winners Don't Quit shares the adventures and life lessons of a man who lived Henry David Thoreau's words, "...perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." In 1967, Joe Bowen began a remarkable journey on a bicycle to discover America for himself. At the time, there had been crossings of America on a bicycle but it was unheard of to travel 14,000 miles and 16 months on a bicycle! He left Lompoc, California with a meager $43.85 in his pocket. Whenever he ran out of funds he worked a few days painting a house, putting up hay on a farm or cutting firewood. In 1980, Joe wanted to raise a substantial sum of money for his favorite charity, the Muscular Dystrophy Association. With the help of his fellow Jaycees, his 3,008-mile stilkwalk across America set a world record and raised more than $100,000 for the MDA. He stiltwalked in spite of his critics.
