    Gordy Racette, renowned Canadian professional boxer, kickboxer, and martial arts champion, delves into the hard-won wisdom of his years of competing to be the best, while overcoming challenges that would leave most people out of the game for good. 
    Born with grit and tenacity, Gordy grew up in a small town with only TV and movie heroes inspiring him to reach peak performance. Leaving home at fifteen, he developed a fierce independence, determined to become champion. However, after a severe accident, the doctors said what he wished to achieve was impossible, and a new challenge appeared: prove them wrong. 
    Gordy persevered, consistently shocking fellow athletes and nay-sayers who didn’t believe a man who walked with a cane or required adaptive devices could compete at the highest level or attract the attention of Sylvester Stallone or Muhammad Ali. But that didn’t matter to him. Undeterred by injury and setback, he won title after title. 
    At times funny, heart-wrenching, and deeply inspiring, The Gauntlet is an essential memoir by one of the most fascinating Canadian world class athletes.

    Barefoot Britain - A Running...

    Step into an adventure that set the country alight. 
    Anna McNuff had never run a mile without shoes on before. And yet, one British summer, she set off to run a (very) wiggly route from the Shetland Islands to London – on a mission to cover the distance of 100 marathons… in bare feet. 
    Fuelled by a desire to push mind and body to the limit (and to drink tea, and eat biscuits), she zigzagged over rugged coastlines, through small villages, across windswept moors, along golden sandy beaches and even down the odd picturesque A-road. As the journey gathered pace, she was joined by thousands of other runners and soon learned that, even though she was (usually) the only one in bare feet, this was far from a solo journey. 
    Barefoot Britain is warm-hearted, funny and painfully honest – featuring remote islands, big cities, kind strangers and setbacks-a-plenty. It’s a story which reveals the messy reality of taking on a crazy idea and, above all, shows how one person’s will to dig deep and carry on can encourage others to do the same.
