Synopsis
In 1996, a twenty-three-year-old soldier in the British Army was flying over an African desert on a routine parachute jump. He had a lot to look forward to-a long career ahead of him in the army, a beautiful girlfriend back home. But those dreams were cut short when his parachute failed to open at eleven thousand feet. He had cracked three vertebrae and come within a fraction of severing his spinal cord. A grueling eight months of physical therapy followed. Bear had to retrain his muscles to do all of the things we take for granted-how to sit, stand, walk, even breathe. Eighteen months after his accident he overcame incredible odds to reach the peak of Everest. THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination. Bear's quest for funding for his expedition, his seventy days on Everest's southeast face, and a narrow brush with death after a fall into a crevasse at nineteen thousand feet, make the story an essential read for anyone who's ever had a dream and made it come true., Author featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show See the author's interview with Oprah: http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200701/tows_past_20070131.jhtml THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination.

- r***r (305)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAwesome item. Very cool and unique IMO. The seller packaged this oversized newspaper magazine perfectly in a large zip lock bag , then between pieces of cardboard and wrapped it tightly with a few layers of tough wrapping paper, creating a very stiff and protective barrier for shipping. The items looks to be in essentially brand new condition aside from a bit of yellowing of the paper due to its nature. Communication with the seller was quick and pleasant. High quality transaction.
