Tenacious: Fifteen Adventures Alongside Disabled Athletes

Meet fifteen athletes who have won gold medals, broken world records, climbed mountains, and claimed national championships with the help of their adaptive equipment. There’s the downhill skier whose blindness has sharpened her communication skills; the adaptive surfer who shreds through the waves while sitting down; and the young man who’s brilliant at wheelchair motocross–but struggles with maths! Tenacious tells their stories and reveals the joys and day to day challenges of life as an athlete with disabilities.
