Read the Inspiring True Story of TJ Halbertsma, an Ordinary Person Doing Extraordinary Things
LONDON (PRWEB) June 07, 2019 -- TJ Halbertsma has a regular job, wears a suit to work and takes the Tube to the office every day. He has no special abilities, but he is curious. Whenever he gets the chance, he looks for adventure and explores the world. In fact, he has climbed the Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Eiger, walked to the North Pole and the South Pole, crossed the English Channel on a stand-up paddleboard and escaped from Alcatraz, just to name a few of his adventures.
In “Many Worlds to Conquer: Dare to Dream and Make It Happen!” (published by AuthorHouse UK), Halbertsma shares his many mountaineering adventures and exploration. In the book, the accounts of his many adventures show readers how he keeps going even during the toughest moments. These moments include the lines to his canopy twisting dangerously on his first “surprise” solo skydive in Seville, and hitting his head on a rock, falling onto a ridge, tearing his thigh and then having to climb back down the Matterhorn, facing downwards in extreme agony. He also writes about his setbacks which include the financial crisis, and how bad weather defeats him on Denali and how he turns these setbacks into his greatest achievements, the expeditions to the North Pole and the Eiger. For Halbertsma, there is no shying away or glossing over the challenges and risks of these adventures, whether it is sea lions, arctic water, severe frostbite, strong currents, sharks, broken collarbones, torn thighs or worse.
Halbertsma has given the book a larger mission than just telling adventurous tales. After learning that his 12-year-old nephew was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012, the author has devoted himself to raising funds for diabetes research. All profits from the book’s sale will go to JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research.
“Many Worlds to Conquer” aims to stir the interest of outdoor adventurers or those who dream about such exploits. It also hopes to inspire those seeking to live their lives more fully, as Halbertsma has made a lifetime project of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
