Description
Danger and daring Guts and glory. Here are four awe-inspiring, adventure filled stories of athletes who compete not just to win, but to survive:
Todd Skinner, a rock climber stranded without food during an Amazon ascent Todd and his team needed a miracle to save them from starving to death.
Beth Rypins, a world-class kayaker who broke down physical and cultural barriers on a wild expedition through frigid Siberian waters.
Hank Dekker, a blind man who sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean, right into a hurricane!
Team American Pride, four men and one woman who competed in the ulti- mate test of endurance: The Raid Gauloises. For 10 days, they raced through jungles and over mountains and oceans, battling nature and their own fears to the finish.
All the stories are true. And all show the remarkable wills of athletes who have what it takes to make it.
