Never Give Up:
Ted Jaleta's Inspiring Story
By Deana Driver
This award-winning national bestseller is the true story of African-born elite athlete and role model Ted Jaleta (jal-eh-ta). Ted Jaleta had a happy childhood in Ethiopia and was on his way to becoming a world-class long distance runner when a brutal civil war ended that dream. Ted was thrown into a crowded African jail. He escaped with his life only to end up in a disease-ridden refugee camp in another part of Africa. He was able to make his way to Canada and rebuild his life in his new country. He went on to achieve success as a world class Masters runner, philosopher, humanitarian, motivational speaker and coach. Never Give Up tells about Ted's struggles and triumphs and what we can all learn from his story, including his messages to set goals, work hard, get an education and appreciate all that we have in our abundant part of the world.
