Joey Evans has always loved bikes, from his first second-hand Raleigh Strika at the age of six to the powerful off-road machines that became his passion later on in his life. His dream was one day to ride the most gruelling off-road race in the world, the 9000km Dakar Rally. In 2007 his dream was shattered when he broke his back in a racing accident. His spinal cord was crushed, leaving him paralysed from just below his chest. Doctors gave him a 10 per cent chance of ever walking again. Many would have given up and become resigned to life in a wheelchair, but not Joey Evans.
Not only would he get back on his feet and walk, but he would also keep his Dakar dream alive. It was a long and painful road to recovery, involving years of intensive rehabilitation and training, but he had the love and support of both family and friends and an incredible amount of determination. Joey shares the many challenges he and his family faced, relating the setbacks, as well as successes, along the way to the Dakar start line. But the start line was only the first goal – his sights were set on reaching the finish line, which he did in 2017 – the only South African to do so.
From Para To Dakar is so much more than the story of one man reaching the Dakar finish line. It is a story of friendship and respect, compassion and kindness. It is about defying the odds to reach a dream, it is about grit, endurance and raw courage, and it is inspiring in its true heroism.

A double-bill of teen films starring Selena Gomez. In 'Monte Carlo'
(2011) high school student and part-time waitress Grace (Gomez) has
always dreamed of travelling to Paris with her best friend, Emma
(Katie Cassidy). Her dream starts to unravel when her uptight
stepsister, Meg (Leighton Meester), announces that she will be
joining them. Needless to say, their trip turns out to be a big
disappointment - until they wander into the lobby of a luxury hotel
and Grace is mistaken for a famous British heiress. Before they get
the chance to reveal their true identities, the girls find
themselves whisked off on a whirlwind tour to Monte Carlo, where
all three find adventure and, of course, love. 'Ramona and Beezus'
(2010) follows the misadventures of irrepressible third-grader
Ramona (Joey King) and her tomboyish big sister, Beezus (Gomez).
Ramona's vivid imagination and boundless energy may drive her
family and friends mad at times, but they come in handy when she
puts her mind to finding ways to save the family home.
This collaboration of two physiologists and a gastroenterologist
provides medical and graduate students, medical and surgical
residents, and subspecialty fellows a comprehensive summary of
digestive system physiology and addresses the pathophysiological
processes that underlie some GI diseases. The textual approach
proceeds by organ instead of the traditional organization followed
by other GI textbooks. This approach lets the reader track the food
bolus as it courses through the GI tract, learning on the way each
organ's physiologic functions as the bolus directly or indirectly
contacts it. The book is divided into three parts: (1) Chapters 1-3
include coverage of basic concepts that pertain to all (or most)
organs of the digestive system, salivation, chewing, swallowing,
and esophageal function, (2) Chapters 4-6 are focused on the major
secretory organs (stomach, pancreas, liver) that assist in the
assimilation of a meal, and (3) Chapters 7 and 8 address the motor,
transport, and digestive functions of the small and large
intestines. Each chapter includes its own pathophysiology and
clinical correlation section that underscores the importance of the
organ's normal function.
