FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description After a successful career as an attorney and business executive, Jason Romero hit rock bottom when he found himself divorced, unemployed, and in a deep depression after a degenerative eye condition rendered him blind with limited light perception. Feeling a calling to run across America, he took on the challenge of a lifetime to prepare for, and ultimately run, over 3,000 miles from California to New York in less than sixty days to log the seventh fastest foot crossing in the history of the world. This is a story of success and failure, healing and hurting, and loss and love. It is a tale of choosing to live life despite having a difficult challenge. Review "His story is not only personally moving but is full of great lessons for all management teams." -- Stewart Glendinning (CEO, Molson Coors International)"As the first blind person to run from California to New York, Jason has quite the story to tell, and he does so eloquently and passionately...." -- Jim Browning (COO, Goodwill Industries)"Jason motivated me and the audience to reach deep within ourselves to go the extra mile and to improve our lives and the lives of others." -- Mark Lucas (CEO, US Association of Blind Athletes)"Jason is, first and foremost, a man of high integrity and true compassion. Hes smart, educated, accomplished and a great father. Hes a motivating role model for many." --Scott Burt (CEO, Integro Solutions)"Jason Romero has one of the most remarkable stories you will ever hear. Running across the United States in 60 consecutive days is only the starting point. Factor in visual impairment, a miniscule budget, and a one-person crew, and you would pretty much say this venture was doomed to fail. But if you know Jason at all, you would understand that failure was simply not an option." -- Michael Kragt, Ph.D, Executive Director, Grace Counseling"Jason is humble and kind and has the ability to connect with individuals facing barriers and teams battling challenges. I recommend Jason to speak to any organization looking to inspire their employees." -- Stuart Davie, President & CEO, Goodwill Industries Details ISBN1941528538 Author Jason Romero Publisher Jason Romero Speaking Year 2017 ISBN-10 1941528538 ISBN-13 9781941528532 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2017-11-30 Imprint Jason Romero Speaking Language English Pages 368 Short Title Running into the Dark UK Release Date 2017-11-30 Illustrations 30 Illustrations Subtitle a blind mans record-setting run across America Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
