“Before Michael even wrote this book, I said THIS IS A STORY THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR!” —Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of Born to Run In Running from Tragedy, lifelong runner Michael Salsbury shares an emotionally gripping, deeply personal memoir of loss, resilience, and hope. Michael and Gabriella Salsbury’s picture-perfect love story—an athletic Colorado mountain boy and a free-spirited Austrian girl—began with whirlwind romance, world travels, and a fairytale wedding. But their happiness was shattered by unimaginable grief, losing three of their children to a mysterious illness. As the couple battles heartbreak, a global scientific race unfolds to identify and fight the disease claiming their children. Through it all, Michael weaves his passion for running into the narrative, finding solace and strength in the ultrarunning community. His story offers moments of humor, inspiration, and endurance, blending physical challenges with emotional healing. Ultimately, Running from Tragedy is a tale of courage, a one-in-a-million medical breakthrough, and a family’s journey toward closure—highlighting how running, science, and love can conquer even the darkest odds.
