Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:In 2010, Matt Crofton was given forty-eight hours to live. Little did he know his adventure had only just begun.
Despite bone-marrow infections and massive internal bleeding, Crofton stunned doctors and survived sixteen days in a coma, then six weeks of rehab in the hospital, only to return home to battle agonizing pain, weakness, and post-traumatic depression. Determined to get his life back, he took up paddleboarding as a less strenuous alternative to his first passion, surfing. Paddleboarding turned into a new passion, and that passion turned into an impossible, irresistible idea: Twelve months after leaving the hospital—unprepared, minimally equipped, and in questionable physical condition—Matt Crofton set out to become the first person to paddleboard the length of the Mississippi River.
Inspirational, gripping, poignant, and fun, Mighty chronicles Crofton’s journey from the headwaters of the Mississippi in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, to the river’s end in New Orleans, Louisiana. He narrates his encounters with other river travelers—the comical, the sinister, and the life-changing—as well as his many triumphs and failures, in mesmerizing, yet down-to-earth prose. Packed with photos and journal entries,Mighty will leave you with the difficult choice between reading the book again immediately after you finish it, or setting out to find your own adventure.
