A bullied boy learned to fight back on a high school wrestling mat. A young man discovered the intoxicating power of strength. And a sailor learned that the strength he had fought so hard to build could damage him just as much as it damaged the people around him. From Navy hangars in Hawaii to the frozen streets of northern Japan, Chris chased adventure, tested limits, survived bar fights and close calls, and lived as though consequences belonged to someone else. Then came a devastating traumatic brain injury in Japan that changed everything—but not all at once.

Labeled a failure by the educational system, I finished last in my high school class. I never earned a college credit or read a book.

I am a 61-year-old Christian man of God, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a brother. My name is Donnie “Donskie” Bolena, and I have spent over forty years in the school of hard knocks—a university where the tuition is paid in pain, regret, and near-death experiences. For most of those years, I thought I was simply living life to the fullest. I didn't realize that I was actually engaging in a raging battle that was slowly stealing my mind, my soul, and my life.

In the late 1970’s, a rare metabolic disorder called “Phenylketonuria” (PKU) was little known by the medical community. With this condition, a liver enzyme is missing, preventing the body from properly breaking down protein rich foods, which becomes toxic to the body. As the brain develops, high levels of "phenylalanine" can lead to severe intellectual hinderance, neurological conditions, and a failure to thrive. Everyone is tested for PKU shortly after birth, as it is passed on genetically.
