Health Traumas and Global Dramas: Thirty Years of World Adventures Patrick Daly

THIS IS A COMPLETELY HONEST ACCOUNT OF HOW ONE MAN BATTLED TO OVERCOME ILL HEALTH AND STILL MANAGED TO LIVE A LIFE OF ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT. PATRICK DALY STRUGGLED WITH BAD HEALTH SINCE CHILDHOOD AND, DESPITE THESE DISABILITIES, COMPETED IN MARATHONS ACROSS THE GLOBE. BUT THE MAIN POINT OF THIS REMARKABLE STORY IS HIS 30 YEARS OF WORLD ADVENTURE, FROM NEAR-DEATH INCIDENTS, DETENTION IN LAOS, A COUP IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE KILLING FIELDS OF CAMBODIA, AND THE MAFIA IN HAWAII, PLUS MANY COMICAL AND BITTERSWEET EVENTS ALONG THE WAY: HE WAS ALL AT SEA IN THAILAND; TRAPPED IN THE TUNNELS OF VIETNAM; AND HAD THE LAST LAUGH ON THE OBSTREPEROUS OSTRICHES OF SOUTH AFRICA.
