Miles For Life

Now that the kids are finally old enough, and her husband´s career is on track, Christina is determined to return to the working world once their summer vacation in Sardinia is over. However, during a routine check-up, fate steps in. Diagnosis Cancer.
But where many others might see it as a stroke of bad luck, Christina sees it as a challenge to start fresh. She will not let another day go by without finally taking charge of her life. It is an illness that only she alone can bear, take responsibility for, and overcome.
Foregoing the usually prescribed chemotherapy route, she decides instead to start training for a half marathon. She runs because of inherit healing effects endurance training provides, and soon discovers that it has set her on the path to a much more self-determined, happy, and heartfelt life. Immediately following her multiple operations and within the space of only one year, Christina organized an international move from Switzerland to the United States and participated in five half marathons as well as a 100-mile challenge in 2020. She attributes her accomplishments to her dry humor, a long-lost love, and her two courageous children.

A marvellous book for all women. It is like having a top-notch life coach neatly wrapped into a paperback book. Seldom have I highlighted so many passages in any other book as much as I did in this one or made as many connections to countless people around me. But read it for yourself.
