Powered By Hope: The Teri Griege Story
No reviews yet.
Powered By Hope reaches across boundary lines and speaks directly to our humanity, touching upon some of the most universally relevant subjects in society: addiction, alcoholism, cancer, death, and faith.
With an engaging narrative, Teri Griege--with the assistance of author Amy Marxkors--chronicles her journey from alcoholic and drug addict to defiant cancer-fighter and Ironman. After she is given a death sentence in the form of stage IV colon cancer, Teri responds by training for one of the most grueling endurance events in the world. The race is a victorious culmination of years of struggle and a personal evolution, one punctuated with tumultuous moments of self-doubt, addiction, rehab, forgiveness, faith, and ultimate victory.
Powered By Hope is not merely a ''cancer book'' or a ''book for addicts'' or a ''triathlon book''; instead, it is a story that cuts through labels to reveal that for all of our differences, we are all very human.
