GOLD – YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK

by Michael Hammon

    Synopsis

    A documentary about three of the most inspiring Paralympic athletes and their journey to the Paralympics 2012 in London. Henry Wanyoike, a blind marathon runner from Kenya, has dedicated his life to help children in need. Paralyzed world champion swimmer Kirsten Bruhn is bringing her story to companies and schools to give an example of what we can make of our lives, no matter how tough the obstacles are. And just as Kirsten and Henry, the Australian wheel chair racer Kurt Fearnley has turned his life from tragedy to triumph. He is following his goals of achievement and inspiration. GOLD sends a strong signal to everyone. It is a message one cannot ignore. These athletes make their physical limitations seem unimportant and encourage us to expand our horizons: YOU can do more than you think - each and every one of us can reach GOLD.
