Dare to Dream

"Dare To Dream - Flying Solo With Diabetes" chronicles Douglas Cairns' experience as the first pilot with type 1 diabetes to fly around the world in a light aircraft. Douglas Cairns is a man who won't take no for an answer. A man who enjoys life, lving it to the fullest - and at top speed, if he can have it his way. From ski racing to fast jets in the British Royal Air Force, he was living his dream, and then a diagnosis of diabetes put an end to it. With characteristic enthusiasm, he learned to control diabetes, but he never stopped dreaming about flying...and making diabetes part of the equation. Flying around the world is one of those dreams that only a very few people carry out - and no one with type 1 diabetes has ever done it, until now. Douglas Cairns has set a new world record and he'll make you see the world - and the people in it - in a whole new way. "Dare To Dream" is an impassioned adventure story - a survival challenge of worldwide proportions.
