This is the autobiography of Chris Moon, an ex-military officer turned
mine-clearance operative. While supervising mine-clearance in
Mozambique in 1995, Chris Moon was injured by a landmine and
suffered the loss of his lower right leg and right arm. Following his
rehabilitation, Moon became an advocate for greater support for
survivors of landmines, a distance runner and a motivational speaker.
In his book, Moon details his struggle to regain his strength and
independence following his injury. Moon emphasizes that disabled
people should not be pitied but have goals and aspirations like the rest
of society. Today, Moon continues to successfully run marathons to
raise money and awareness for the landmines cause.
