Courage to Persevere is a true, heroic account of Bill Fallon’s battle with a rare birth defect and his recovery. On November 29, 1990 Bill Fallon learned that he had two Arterial Venous Malformations while being checked for persistent headaches he had suffered since childhood.
He was a successful real estate broker, professional skier and enjoyed all the creature comforts that the life in the fast lane provided.

His material and physical world crashed around him and he had to undergo more than 50 hours of experimental brain surgery. He discovered strength in his family and skiing provided the goal than helped him focus on recovery.

This is a story about facing some of life’s toughest challenges and finding a way to rebuild one’s life, learning to walk, read and live again. It is a testament to mental focus, hard work and the strength that comes from close friends and family.
