Description
by J. F. McDermott (Author)
Go Fast Go Faster is a tender, funny, and deeply moving story of a father's love for his daughter, and how together, they continue to triumph over tragedy.
In November of 1995, birth trauma left James McDermott's daughter Mariel profoundly brain injured, physically disabled and unable to care for herself. This event started him on a journey of love and compassion for her and others who face similar challenges.
Ever an energetic and tenacious person, James immediately rose to the occasion, transforming nearly overnight from a self-described "slightly self-centred ex-athlete" to a passionate advocate for disability rights. Determined to create a meaningful and empowered life for his beautiful daughter, he stood bravely in the face of people and systems that devalued her and others like her. Using humour and positivity to cope through hard times, James dedicated himself to improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities, fighting for both their inclusion and their health. In 2017, he invented the CareChanger, a device he built for his daughter that will revolutionize personal care for wheelchair users. In this book, James honours both his adventures with Mariel - from clever Halloween costumes to a memorable Vegas vacation - and the many people who have touched her life through their compassion and care.
We also get to meet the Glorious Golfers, a wonderful story about friendship, overcoming adversity and being inspired by inclusion.
