Snowboarder Chris Klug battled for years to have his extreme sport accepted in the mainstream, rose through the World Cup ranks, and won a bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics less than two years after undergoing a lifesaving liver transplant. An inspiration to millions worldwide, Klug gives us his remarkable story of survival and triumph in TO THE EDGE AND BACK. In 1996, during snowboarding's World Cup season, Klug was diagnosed with primary schlerosing cholangitis--the same disease that would cause the death of football great Walter Payton. In April 200, Klug's liver began to fail so rapidly that doctors, fearing the worst, moved him up on the transplant list. Through surgery, recovery, and Olympic glory, every setback in Chris Klug's ride is riveting. This is a must-read for the millions of people in the organ donor community as well as all Americans looking for a story of an athlete who represents the best of the human spirit.
