FROM MARC WOODS
"I love to read and listen to inspirational stories, butsometimes it is difficult to apply any of their content to your ownlife. In writing Personal Best I wanted to share my lifeexperiences, to relate how I dealt with, and overcame, thedifferent challenges that I faced and then went on to achievesuccess. But, more importantly, I wanted to do it in a way thatmight be useful to others.
In beating cancer as a teenager, I may have lost a leg, but Igained a new respect for life and a second chance. My experiencetaught me to approach life in a different way. It taught me tomeasure myself against my potential and not against others. Ittaught me about personal responsibility. It taught me that life isabout being the best person you can be.
If you are lucky, life teaches you what you don't learn atschool. I've been very lucky. I've learnt some tough, but invaluable lessons about life on my journey. I'd like toshare those lessons with you.„
“Personal Best is a truly inspirational book, writtenwith great honesty, compassion and humility. Marc's ability toovercome adversity and triumph in so many diverse areas is anexample to us all. His immense sporting achievements and his workon behalf of the Teenage Cancer Trust is unequalled and hisindomitable spirit shines through.„
