The Journey: The Mike Vollmer Story follows the life of college football star Mike Vollmer and his battle with ALS, also commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. A brilliant, kind, and gentle soul, once diagnosed, Mike vowed to never be defined by negativity.

About the Author

Rosemary Daniel Butzer, RN, MA, came into Mike’s life in 2009, when he had a permanent tracheotomy done and went on a ventilator to breathe. Rosemary was instantly impressed by Mike, who remained intelligent, charismatic, and charming, even in the face of adversity. Over the years, she became one of his greatest advocates and friends.

Rosemary is a graduate of The Ohio State University (OSU) with a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a master of arts in health education. She is also a certified early childhood psychologist. She met her husband George at OSU and both of her children graduated from OSU as well.

Over the years, Rosemary has been a huge fan of OSU football. She has also seen first-hand the devastating negative effects such a high-impact sport can have on the players’ bodies. Through her writing and actions, she hopes to educate college football fans on the risks of playing the game and lobbies for greater care for players who suffer from severe conditions as a result.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.

My dog loves glowing fetch at night!
Style: Glow Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Fantastic. Sturdy. My dog loves them Glow in the dark is great for fetch at night. I keep a flashlight with me because the glow doesn't last really long. But they charge very quickly and are really bright.

Indestructible
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 2), Size: 3 inch
These balls are indestructible! We have a lab and a lab mix and they CANNOT damage these balls. They love them for fetch and to just chew on them (slightly squishy, but NO damage). Best toys we have bought for them.

Great trial set. Just be careful throwing the orange one!
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Blue isn't that easy to see in the yard White charges with bright light/UV and is truly a game changer for night-time fetch. Both dogs clearly favor it. Orange is easy to see in the grass at day They're 3 different weights as well, so double trial. I prefer medium for my big dogs, though light performs well too The orange is HEAVY and unyielding. Do NOT throw it with a ball thrower. It could damage your house or knock your dog out. Seems tough though.
