Joey Evans always dreamed of riding the most grueling off-road race in the world, the 9000km Dakar Rally. A dream which was shattered when he broke his back in a motorbike accident and crushed his spinal cord in 2007, leaving him paralysed from just below his chest. The doctors gave him a 10% chance of ever walking again. Many would have given up and focused on living life in a wheelchair, but not Joey Evans. Not only would he manage to get back on his feet and walk, he would also keep his Dakar dream alive. A father of four daughters, Joey shares the many challenges he and his family faced on the long road to recovery. All the setbacks and the successes in the ten years it took to get to the Dakar start line. With his incredible determination and never-say-die attitude, he only had only one thing in sight … the finish line.
