Mike Rolls was a teenager with his whole life ahead of him - before contracting the deadly virus, Meningococcal Septicaemia. Overnight he was fighting for his life. By the time Mike regained consciousness, he had lost his right leg, half his left foot, two fingers and part of his nose, as well as suffering extensive internal injuries.
He was given a 5% chance of survival. After a painfully slow recovery and years of living with a leg that would never heal, Mike finally realised that enough was enough: he took the decision to have his second leg amputated. Through this gruelling experience, Mike finally learned how to move forward with grace and perseverance and began to feel whole again. More than just a triumph over adversity story, Ditch the Dead Weight offers an alternative approach to the challenges we all face in our lives. By combining his personal experience with proven scientific research and a practical methodology for letting go of things which no longer serve us, Mike Rolls offers a bright new outlook and inspiration to discover our best life today.
