There's no one quite like Kurt Fearnley. Known as 'the guy who crawled Kokoda' and 'the wheelchair marathon man' Kurt was born without the lower part of his spine. He grew up as the shortest member of the Fearnley family, and was raised to believe he could give anything a go. This is a wild ride that takes us from the paddocks of tiny Carcoar in NSW to the gruelling Kokoda track, from the challenge - mental and physical - of marathon racing to the slippery decks of the Wild Oats XI Sydney to Hobart win. Kurt lets us in on the exhilaration of winning as well the depths of disappointment at some treatment of people with a disability. He is a passionate champion of everyone getting a fair go. Frank, engaging and highly entertaining, Kurt has an enthusiasm for life and the 'stuff it chucks at you' that is infectious and his attitude to challenges is inspiring.

Author: Kurt Fearnley with Warwick Green

‘Kurt Fearnley gives life a good name.' Andrew Denton
'Aside from all the medals accolades and achievements, in my humble opinion it is his larrikin sense of humour positive attitude to life, never forgetting where he comes from and his belief that there is nothing he can't do that makes him a national treasure.' Layne Beachley
