The year was 1955, the month was September. Keron and Anne Walsh and their 14 children were on their family farm in northern Illinois, preparing for the opening of the new school year, when 5-year-old Rose complained about a headache. Their doctor identified the culprit: polio, one of the most dreaded and crippling diseases of the era. Thus began a two-year siege that the Walsh family confronted with courage, prayers and strong faith. In less than a month after the first diagnosis, 10 more of the Walsh children came down with polio, five with cases so serious they had to be hospitalized. Two never recovered.The family’s plight brought sympathy and support from hundreds of relatives, neighbors and friends, and from thousands more across the nation and around the world. This is the story of a family’s suffering and perseverance that led finally to a Triumph on Baker Road.
