By David Cardani and Dick Traum
The Courage to go Forward is, in reality, two books with one message. The first is the use of fascinating profiles of average people overcoming challenges related to disabilities, and the second is the strength of micro-communities, Cordani and Traum shows that athletic groups who form micro-communities are able to complete extreme athletic challenges such as triathlons, during their journey of recovery. Both authors give first-hand accounts of the ways these small tight-knit communities support and push people to do better and suggest these communities should also be built to help conquer other multifaceted issues, such as the drug crisis.
