Join us for an unforgettable evening as we welcome Tom Haig, a remarkable individual whose journey spans continents, careers, and courage.
Tom once worked as a webmaster at the Alliance Française in its early days perfecting its very first website. Now, Tom returns to the Alliance as a captivating storyteller and author. Join us as he takes the stage to share his extraordinary tale, as recounted in his book "Global Nomad." Don't miss this unique opportunity to be inspired, uplifted, and perhaps even transformed by the remarkable journey of Tom Haig.
About the book:
In Global Nomad, Tom shares his early free-wheeling life with its exciting cities and colorful personalities, and his extraordinary post-accident return to The Bridge to Venice Rule—racing in marathons, traveling solo in some of the poorest countries in the world, meeting the Dalai Lama, jamming with jazz great Oscar Klein, holding disability seminars, and starting the International Rehabilitation Forum with his physician brother, Andy. In the process, he bares the unvarnished aftermath and heartbreaking vulnerabilities that follow permanent paralysis, and inspires us all to take risks and live remarkable, generous, lives.
