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.
