Race You to the Top

Description

Tony Christiansen was an ordinary little boy until, at the age of nine, he lost both his legs in a devastating railway accident. Not interested in self-pity, Tony went on to become school swimming champion, a surf lifesaver, a Tae Kwon Do black belt, a speedway and race car champion, and the first disabled pilot to fly solo. He started his own successful business, married and became a father. Now in his forties, he is one of New Zealand's leading after-dinner speakers and inspirational motivators, and is increasingly appearing in Australia and the USA. This is the extraordinary story of Tony's amazing life. His never-say-die attitude and unique sense of humor will make this one of the best-selling New Zealand books of 2000. ISBN:9781869503581
