About this listen

"A must-read." (Julie Dussliere, chief of Paralympic sport, US Olympic & Paralympic Committee)

Nineteen people from across the globe, ranging in age from 20 to 70-plus, tell their stories of living and thriving in diverse fields - in sport, the arts, medicine, business, and more. With refreshing frankness, they share their successes along with their struggles - grit is the one characteristic they all have in common. These are not stories of people overcoming disability - they’re stories of people accommodating disability while pursuing their dreams. Pure Grit shines a light on boundless possibility whatever the individual challenge.

Pure Grit highlights the lived experience of remarkable individuals, who collectively demonstrate that growing up with a disability brings strength, perspective, and resilience.” (Dr. Cheri Blauwet, assistant professor of PM&R, Harvard Medical School)

“An insightful collection of stories.” (Dr. Christine Imms, Apex Australia chair of neurodevelopment and disability, University of Melbourne)

“The stories in Pure Grit are a testament to human achievement no matter your ability. An extraordinary read.” (Casey Wasserman, chairperson, Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games)
