Each life is a unique, solitary journey.<br />
No matter how many friends or family<br />
members you may be fortunate to<br />
have, ultimately your body and mind,<br />
your decisions, health and feelings,<br />
are yours alone.<br />
But building connections to others who<br />
can support, influence, teach and inspire<br />
us, can guide us down our singular<br />
pathways towards greater fulfillment.<br />
The extraordinary athletes in<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> 9 represent a select group of<br />
people whose lives shine light on<br />
higher roads. By embracing their<br />
individual challenges and passions,<br />
they reinforce the belief that we<br />
are all capable of taking charge of<br />
our own lives, of forging ahead with<br />
determination and perseverance.<br />
For Peter Shankman, Andrew Cranston,<br />
Miles Rough and Shashank Thukur,<br />
athletes from radically different<br />
backgrounds, their challenges share<br />
a commonality. Managing ADHD,<br />
recovering from a bone-shattering<br />
accident, taking on obesity and<br />
overcoming childhood disease, this<br />
group of unconventional athletes<br />
suffered and floundered, but they<br />
more than survived – they excelled.<br />
Levi Markwardt and Dr. Johannes<br />
Lierfeld, seekers of knowledge and<br />
teachers who lead by example,<br />
reveal that strength can be built<br />
and tested in many ways. Embracing<br />
challenges, they find fulfillment by<br />
setting new goals, reaching them<br />
and maintaining the gains made by<br />
hard work over the years.<br />
Street workout athletes Jamie<br />
Geraghty, founder of Bar Monkeys<br />
and Melanie Driessen, top performers<br />
in the calisthenics movement, reveal<br />
the skills which built their agile,<br />
athletic bodies. By discovering their<br />
passion, they encourage others to<br />
enjoy the benefits and joy of this<br />
growing sport.<br />
A look at the fascinating life of<br />
the legendary armwrestler and<br />
referee, Steve Stanaway, reveals an<br />
uncompromising man in his 70’s who<br />
is still willing to sit down (or stand<br />
up) to pin an opponent in lightening<br />
quick time.<br />
We hope you enjoy your journey into<br />
the world of these elite athletes,<br />
and welcome your comments and<br />
feedback.<br />
