Don't Look Down 2017: An Adventurous Life with MS - Hardcover
Ski-mountaineering in the Austrian Alps with only one working limb. Sailing above the Arctic Circle and west of Greenland. Walking around Annapurna. Working as a doctor in India. Exploring the tribal region of north Pakistan. These are only some of the things consultant radiologist Roger Chisholm has done after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, aged 27. This is a life-affirming story of enduring friendships, quiet courage and resilience. Above all, it is a story of a man determined to defy the odds and live life to the full.

About the Author:
Roger Chisholm is a consultant radiologist in a Manchester teaching hospital. A one-time passionate mountaineer, after being diagnosed with MS, he re-channelled his love of wild places and adventure into offshore sailing. This is his first book.
Review:
Dick Durham, Editor-at-Large, Yachting Monthly: Fighting a gale at night on an unfamiliar lee shore with half his sea-sickened crew below didn't put Roger Chisholm off sailing. But then having only one limb of four working properly did not put him off climbing. While an attack from a malignant brain tumour, simply spurred him to write. If, like me, you have made excuses for not putting to sea in the past, read Don't Look Down and know that you will never, comfortably, be able to make them in the future.
