Go Anyway is a true-life story:
Lyn and Jim Foley sold thriving businesses, their house, cars, most of their possessions, and moved aboard a sailboat. As they ventured under the Golden Gate Bridge to sail around the world, the warning words of a renowned neurologist rang in their ears: “Don’t go, don’t do this foolish thing.” They went anyway, in spite of the fact that 43 year old Jim had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an incurable brain disorder.
Written for non-sailors, Go Anyway tracks a remarkable 10 year circumnavigation.
Follow in the wake of their sailboat Sanctuary as Lyn and Jim gain their sea legs, cross oceans, and survive Force Ten storms. Logging over 35,000 miles and visiting 39 countries, they met memorable people and faced remarkable challenges. Their daily battle with Parkinson’s disease and its relentless attack on Jim’s mind and body is compelling.
Go Anyway, a true story of the magnificence of human nature and triumph over circumstances, will inspire you.
Praise for Go Anyway:
"Few of us, even in perfect health, would dare accept the challenge Lyn and Jim Foley embraced. That they did so, while simultaneously battling Jim's Parkinson's disease, makes Lyn's entertaining, well-written account doubly astounding.
Go Anyway is inspirational."
