In October 2011 James Cracknell, two-time Olympic gold-medal rower and one of the greatest endurance athletes the world has ever known, suffered a seizure at home as his young son looked on in horror. A man who had known no limits; a man who had practically achieved the impossible, was now a man who could not cope with the most simple of tasks. A year earlier, as James undertook yet another endurance challenge in Arizona, he was knocked off his bike by the wing mirror of a petrol tanker. It had smashed into the back of his head at 70 mph causing severe frontal lobe damage. The doctors weren't sure if he would recover, and if he did, whether he would ever be the same again. Touching Distance is an extraordinary, honest and powerful account as James and his wife Bev confront for the first time the choices James has made in his life, and their consequences. It is the story of a marriage; of a family, and of a man who is not how he used to be.
