Staying Strong is an immensely human story of how a working-class boy from Tyneside in the north of England became a world champion BMX dirt rider in America – then went downhill through partying and drugs and alcohol, until he hit rock bottom. But, with determination and hard work, Stephen Murray had the tenacity to fight his way back to the top of his sport and, in 2007, he was once again riding in a world championship final. Then tragedy struck – he crashed and broke his neck, flat-lined three times, and ended up paralysed from the shoulders down. Though he lost the use of most of his body, Stephen never lost the fighting spirit that made him world champion and saved his life. Now he fights on a different front, staying strong in the face of everyday adversities, with a super-human mental resilience that inspires quadriplegics and action sports athletes the world over. His story is inspirational and his book is a triumph of the soul. The limited edition collector's hardback is personally signed by Stephen Murray (only from www.stysrg.com) available on .

"Just incredible. I was really into BMX for many years which is why I wanted to read this book, but I think anyone would enjoy it and most importantly learn a lot from it – it is a true story of achievement and about pushing the limits in all aspects of life – along with some crazy wild stories that I couldn’t even imagine that makes this book really hard to put down! This is one of a few books that I think about nearly every single day because of the central message about Staying Strong. As Stephen says, “There’s so many things in life that can make you crumble. But you gotta reach deep down inside – when you think there’s nothing left, you dig deeper! Deeper! As deep as it takes! You STAY STRONG!”. Understanding Stephen’s story helps me to be a better husband and father and person in general as Stephen is a role model for getting back up when you get knocked down. I didn’t see that coming when I picked up this book and I don’t think many books have a lasting impact like that. Stephen - thanks for sharing the wild ride."

• Stephen was one of the top BMXers when I was heavy into BMX in my teens/early twenties. It's hard to believe it's already been 10 years since his accident. This book is a great read, and I read it in about 3 days...mostly because I wanted to keep following the story. It felt like a conversation, more than a typical book, which is why it was hard to put down. The events of his life, pre and post crash, are very detailed and I think that makes it more of an honest conversation. Publicly putting out there the partying, drugs, women, etc.. prior to the accident, not sugar coating anything. A very inspirational story and wish I could find more books like this in my field of interest. A very inspirational read for anyone within the BMX world or anyone going through any personal struggles. Definitely worth the purchase to help the Stay Strong cause and to raise awareness.
• A truly inspirational book of courage! This young man poured out his heart for all the world to see. He is a true inspiration for everyone that is going through a detrimental struggle. He has an amazing strength & will to survive not to mention a great sense of humor! He is a living testimony not only to himself but to his sons, family & friends! This is a must read story!! God Bless You Stephen and "Stay Strong"!
