 Two weeks after Dave Cornthwaite took up a long skateboard for the first time, he woke up and made the biggest decision of his life. BoardFree is the story of one man’s extraordinary determination to escape a rut. Within two years Dave taught himself how to skate, quit his job, set up a charitable initiative, then embarked on two incredible skateboard journeys to raise money and awareness for three charities. He pushed the length of Britain and the width of Australia, breaking two world records and inspiring many others to go on and do something similar.

I was hooked from page 1 with the way you reacted to that email. I'm truly inspired to get out into the world and do things like you. Thank you."
