AMPUTEE AUTHOR TO DISCUSS BOOK

Weston resident Kevin S. Garrison will read from his biography It's Just a
Matter of Balance next month at the Borders store in Plantation.

Garrison was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, when he was
16 and eventually lost a foot to the disease. He began wearing a prosthesis
at 17.

It's Just a Matter of Balance is listed as an inspirational book on Heather
Mills McCartney's website. Mills McCartney, the wife of former Beatle Paul
McCartney, is also an amputee.

Part of the proceeds from Garrison's book will be donated to The Barr
Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supplies prosthetic limbs to needy
amputees.

For more information on the book, call 1-888-333-8770 or visit

Garrison's book reading and signing is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., May 11 at
the Borders store, 12171 W. Sunrise Blvd., in Plantation.
