Was trekking through the Sahara Desert to raise money for Thrombosis UK a step too far? Managing an inherited clotting condition and struggling with a serious back problem as well as pushing myself physically and mentally to complete the challenge almost proved to be too much! This book is my story and one reviewer has called it a "true, gripping, real life adventure story" (Ann White,verified Amazon review 27.08.17). I am lucky to be alive having survived 2 potentially fatal blood clots aged just 26. Now in my late 50s I push myself harder than ever before, living a full and active life and heading full tilt into any challenge I choose. Thrombosis UK works to educate both the public and health professionals to 'Spot the Clot'. Knowing what to look out for may save your life or that of someone close to you. All profits from book sales are donated to help this amazing charity which, whilst UK based, is a world leader in research, education and support in the field of thrombosis.
An inspiring story of courage, endurance and a determination to complete a trek through the Sahara for the Thrombosis Charity, in spite of a severe back problem. Beautifully written, moving me to tears in some places and laughter in others. A true, gripping, real life adventure story.
