The Mower Boy tells the story of a remarkable man. Born with cerebral palsy, Roger Grein faced many challenges, but he never gave up on a goal and never complained about his circumstances. A man of strong faith, Roger maintained a thankful attitude throughout his life. Even though he had earned a Bachelor's degree in Finance and a Master's in Business Administration, finding traditional employment was difficult for Roger because of his disability. Undaunted, he became a successful entrepreneur with his own tax consulting business. The reader will discover how Roger also became involved in his community in a number of ways, among them, as a volunteer coach and manager for girls' softball teams for thirty-six years. He was an exceptional coach and took his team to national championships, and to international competitions as far away as Moscow. Grateful to God for granting him a happy life, despite his disabilities, Roger was generous with those incapable of helping themselves. He supported many charities within his local communities, as well as abroad. Roger's conviction to help those in need led him to his current position as Founder and President of Magnified Giving. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focuses on educating youth in philanthropy, so that the students of today can bring about a positive transformation to the world of tomorrow. Roger is truly a change-maker, a hero to many, and a dear friend to those who know him. This book is an inspirational must-read!
