About the author


Michael and Shelly Warner are a plant-powered husband and wife team who are passionate that living a healthy lifestyle is the elixir to living a life of significance. They have realized the fragility of life and how precious it is through the adversity they have endured together. Branding themselves as 'Team Warner', they have designed a lifestyle in which they can demonstrate the power of shared values. Thriving despite injury and illness, and utilizing their skills developed after a combined forty-five years of operational and security retail leadership, their mission is to help others believe in the impossible. Having an emphasis on the exceptional needs community, their mission is to lead by being active, healthy and sharing lessons learned along the way. With thousands of miles run and cycled, including five full marathons, numerous half marathons, three centurion bike rides and countless other finish line experiences, Team Warner has illustrated that no obstacle is too large. Fueled by plants and driven by purpose, they utilize gratitude to power their passions. They believe when blessed, you should be a blessing to others. This belief has inspired them to utilize the world of adaptive sports to make a greater impact. Not only were they original founders of South Carolina's first Paralympic Sports Club, they were later emboldened to bring Ainsley's Angels of America to South Carolina. With a passion for running and cycling, this was the perfect fit to serve through endurance events. Believing anyone can achieve their goals, they hope to motivate you and inspire you to live your best self. God created each of us for significance, and they hope their shared experiences and passions encourage you to take the next step on your own journey. Don't miss the moments!

Holy Cow If I could only use one word to describe this book it would be impossible to do because it is so much more! I was riveted to Michael and Shelly's story. How they faced the trials and tribulations with courage and their love for one another and God was so moving. A truly inspirational story. The Bible verses at the beginning of each chapter were amazing how they were tied into the meaning of each chapter. I have listened to Michael speak and I am always inspired. Here is someone with an extra ordinary amount of courage. Their Love for each other has me in awe. Amazing people. This book is a must read for anyone who has struggled with life. You will not be disappointed! Lanette B Read more
