From the Author

Within Reach redefines the concept of boyhood adventure
You should meet Mark Pfetzer. In this age of MTV boredom, he stands as an example of a boy who dreams big and follows through, a kid who raises youthful adventure to new heights, literally. WITHIN REACH shows kids how putting one foot in front of the other insures success.
