Unsinkable: Cancer, Five Boats, And My 710-Kilometre Sea Swim - 9781838365042

FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR of MARATHON MAN Kirkus Reviews (awarded Starred Review) UNSINKABLE is an inspirational, humorous, and heart-wrenching tale of persevering after facing life's most difficult realities. Weeks after a joy-filled footballing trip around France, joined by family and friends, Alan Corcoran learned his dad, Milo, had stage four cancer. Just days later, Milo died. Grief-stricken, twenty-five-year-old Alan decided to raise money for charity by attempting a 500-kilometre length-of-Ireland sea swim (fifteen times the distance of the English Channel) from the Giant's Causeway on the north coast to County Waterford on the south coast. Corcoran takes to the pool and prepares in solitude. Eight months later, he dives into the coldest deep end to begin his open-water swimming adventure. Will he sink or swim...
