Beg your quivering biceps to stay in the race with Team Can Be Venture racing their hand cycles. Hear the wheels of your skateboard hug the hairpin turns down the Appalachians as Jack shares the memory of his son across the US.

This book is a celebration of strength. Of ordinary folks doing extraordinary things with their lives.
