From Para to Dakar: Overcoming Paralysis and Conquering the Dakar Rally by Joey Evans is an inspiring memoir about resilience, determination, and the pursuit of dreams. After a racing accident left him paralyzed from the chest down, Joey was given only a 10% chance of walking again. But his love for bikes and his dream of competing in the grueling Dakar Rally kept him going. With the support of family and friends, he defied the odds, walking again and eventually competing in the Dakar Rally, where he became the first South African to finish the race in 2017. This memoir not only chronicles his physical recovery and the struggles along the way, but also celebrates friendship, compassion, and the unyielding spirit needed to overcome life’s toughest challenges.
