About Bradford and the Journey to the Desert of Lop

"For a moment in time, the east and west were joined once again on the Silk Road, through the boy from the west and the clan of the east, uniting in a common cause."

Written by Dawn Van Zant
Illustrated by Alexander Levitas
ISBN: 0-9761768-2-3

The children’s book is based on a young bo y Brad Lawless, a 9 year old boy that had battled Ewings Sarcoma for 3 years and had a love for wild camels. He sent his dream on a journey to the wilds of the Gobi desert to find and befriend the real life explorer, John Hare, founder of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation. The complete strangers, connected only by an interest in the unique endangered wild camels, have united to send a message of hope and courage, as strong as the winds of the Gobi. There are approximately 350 wild Bactrian camels in the Mongolian Great Gobi Reserve, south of Bayan Toroi and approximately 650 additional camels further south in Xinjiang province, China, living in three isolated and separated pockets. The wild Bactrian camel is an amazing creature that lives in one of the World’s harshest environments and in some areas in the absence of fresh water, has adapted to drinking salt-water slush, which no other mammal can tolerate. Research has shown that these wild camels although surrounded by nuclear radiation, are immune to cancer genes which makes them a possibility for a cure for cancer in future research, which is why the preservation of these wild camels is so important.
