From Hodgkin S To Ironman

In 1994, Wally Hild was diagnosed with near-terminal Hodgkin's disease. He decided he had two choices: live or die, so he put all of his attitude, faith and love of family and friends into living. Ravaged by illness, bald and weak, Wally decided he would compete in the Ironman Canada Triathlon, one of the world's most grueling athletic endeavors. Follow Wally's single-minded battle against cancer, through eight months of aggressive chemotherapy; a strenuous training regime and, on race day; a life-affirming struggle to cross the finish line. Wally's journey is a testimony of strength and courage, and an inspiration for all to never, ever give up hope. In August of 1996, he crossed the finish line after a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile marathon, in less than 17 hours to earn his emotional and hard fought victory. He ran across the finish line into the arms of his waiting family. "From Hodgkin's to Ironman" is one of the ultimates in human sporting achievements. Wally refers to the difference between sickness and wellness, doubt and achieving, life and death. You'll be inspired and motivated to explore the deep pool of your talents and gifts and to reach for your goals. Your life will be changed by reading this book. It's not what happens in life which is important -- it's your response that makes the difference. Everything is possible -- if we can dream big enough!
