But after each upset, letdown, and setback, and despite the use of only one arm, Jason has continually pushed himself to pursue his dream of becoming an accomplished athlete—ultimately setting a world record, winning a 2009 ESPY Award, and becoming the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (a double Ironman). In Running on Faith: The Principles, Passion, and Pursuit of a Winning Life (HarperOne; September 2010; Hardcover; $25.99; ISBN 9780061965722), Jason shares nine lessons that helped him achieve his dreams and find his calling. Providing readers with the tools to overcome adversity and pursue their passion, Running On Faith offers practical and inspirational guidelines for a happy and healthy life. http://jasonplester.com/RunningOnFaithPR.html
