Follow Bump on YouTube @BumpInTheRoadPodcast! &amp;amp;nbsp; How might a diagnosis of a rare disease and brain tumor change your life? Risa August was an Ironman athlete when unexplained symptoms began appearing. Her body felt off. She was tired. The medical establishment initially offered no answers. After years of being dismissed by doctors, she was finally diagnosed with acromegaly, a rare hormonal disorder caused by an enlarged pituitary gland. It was a chronic disorder she'd have to learn to live with. Rather than let chronic illness define her, Risa became a fierce advocate for her health. And she decided to cycle the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Canada. Her book The Road Unpaved: Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike&amp;amp;nbsp;is a story of setting enormous goals, working within the limitations of an unfamiliar body, and never allowing your enthusiasm for life to dim. Risa's story will resonate with anyone who's ever declined to accept the status quo, particularly in the face of daunting odds. It's an Award Winning, Amazon&amp;amp;nbsp; best selling book! &amp;amp;nbsp;  What they're saying: &amp;amp;nbsp; “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.” –Pragito Dove &amp;amp;nbsp; “Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth. This book is a gift and a must-read for souls experiencing pain and yearning for growth.” &amp;amp;nbsp; –Gary Hensel &amp;amp;nbsp; Learn more at BumpInTheRoad.us &amp;amp;nbsp; Follow Bump on: ➡️&amp;amp;nbsp; Twitter ➡️&amp;amp;nbsp; Facebook ➡️&amp;amp;nbsp; Substack ➡️&amp;amp;nbsp; Instagram ➡️&amp;amp;nbsp;  YouTube &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
