Have you got a big scary dream that you are too afraid to attempt?
Maybe you've tried, but it seems all too difficult?
If so, you're not alone.
Known as 'Run Donna Run' after her 2013 marathon/fundraising campaign, Donna Campisi is an inspiring speaker, author, humanitarian, adventure and performance coach. In The Unlikely Marathoner, Donna reveals successful steps to get you to the finish line and her valuable insights on how you can achieve great things in work or play, business or personal life.

At seven years old Donna was named 'The Mystery Girl, ' when a stroke and its complications left doctors baffled. The diagnosis was that she would never walk or talk again. After amazing results, she became known as 'The Miracle Girl' during her recovery, even while facing a long road of rehabilitation ahead of her.

Now Donna is 'The Unlikely Marathoner'. Her chosen challenge was to learn to run again after thirty-four years. Only able to run thirty tentative steps, Donna trained for eleven months to complete a marathon (42.2 km). Donna's personal and heart-warming stories from her stroke and marathon journey are a lesson for anyone lacking the confidence to go for their big goal. Through courage, determination and Donna's own Baby Step Method, she proves that for those who want to live their dreams, 'there's no such thing as can't'!

Sport and Disability: From Integration Continuum to Inclusion Spectrum
<p><em>Inclusion</em> is primarily discussed in education. With the increasing number of member states of the United Nations ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, academics have vividly discussed inclusion in the context of other areas of life, such as the community at large, as 'social inclusion' in the context of work and employment, and with regard to the aspects addressed by Article 30.5 of the Convention, namely cultural life, recreation, leisure, and sport. This volume is organized around the topic <i>inclusion</i> in sport and has a particular focus on the <i>participation of people with disabilities</i> in sport. Typical barriers for people with disabilities to participate in sport include lack of awareness on the part of people without disabilities as to how to involve them in teams adequately&#x3b; lack of opportunities and programmes for training and competition&#x3b; too few accessible facilities due to physical barriers&#x3b; and limited information on and access to resources. The chapters attribute central importance to the processes and mechanisms of <i>inclusion</i> that operate within sporting environments and to the question of either what happens or could happen to persons with disabilities who enter the playing field.</p><br/><br/><p>The chapters were originally published in a special issue of <em>Sport in Society. </p></em>
