Remington Walls, never dreams about food, whether it is Thanksgiving or any ordinary day. He hasn’t been able to eat real food since he was four years old. The game-changing disease that hit their family when Remington was only three years old changed his life and the lives of those around him in fundamental ways. For the past few years Remington along with his mother and co-author of new book Home Plate, have been working with legislators and speaking in front of congressional hearings in DC this past summer, to affect the laws regarding insurance. Today Remington is still unable to eat or drink regular food, maybe for the rest of his life. The food that gives the rest of us nourishment was slowly destroying Remington’s esophagus. He has an amazing story of resilience and hope and he would make an excellent guest this thanksgiving season to encourage the rest of us to “count our blessings” not the food we plan to intake This Thanksgiving, Remington will be signing copies of Home Plate, and when he goes home, he will avoid the food that the rest of his family is able to eat, subsisting instead on elemental formula. However, his spirit is undaunted and his contagious enthusiasm for life motivates everyone around him.
