Find A Way: The Story of Diana Nyad

Elmhurst Public Library
Large Meeting Room

Event Details

In her latest book review, Jenny Riddle dramatizes Find a Way by Diana Nyad, the inspiring true story of perseverance, resilience, and living out your dreams—no matter your age. Your new mantra will, indeed, be “FIND A WAY.” In 2013, at the age of sixty-four, Diana Nyad swam 111 miles from Cuba to Florida, in an epic feat of both endurance and human will, in fifty-three hours. Millions cheered her on as she was the first to make this historic crossing without the aid of a shark cage. In getting ready for such a swim, Diana faced grueling physical preparation, including regular 12 hour swims, as well as four crushing failures before she achieved this thirty-five year goal that had eluded her during her peak champion swimming days. Her mantra—find a way—offers hope and inspiration to everyone: incredible things are possible at any age.
