1 y separately published work icon All Heart : Life Isn't Measured by the Years You Live, But How You Live, and the Memories You Leave Behind Wayne Chase , Atwell : Pilot Chute , 2019 17352783 2019 single work autobiography ''Life is definitely an unknown - curve-ball shit really does happen, and at least once in your life you will reach breaking point ... it's what you do that really determines you as a person.' MITCH CHASE Wayne Chase's world was shattered one evening, following a fateful knock at the front door. Earlier, Wayne had waved his son Mitch off with friends. They were supposedly wheeling Mitch's dirt bike to a friend's property nearby to go riding the next day. Yet the woman on the doorstep said Mitch had been injured ¬in a road accident. When Wayne reached the scene, he discovered Mitch was unconscious. He had been riding on the road and collided with a car - with fatal consequences. The next day, Wayne and his ex-wife Denise made the heart-breaking decision to turn off their son's life support. Wayne then found out Mitch's death was not just an accident - he had in fact been chased - and the drawn-out legal proceedings began. All Heart is the true story of a boy who inspired others with his will to succeed and his brave heart. It's also a memoir about the unbearable pain of losing a child, and one man's struggle to find a reason to carry on. Ultimately, he finds it in his son's legacy - to live each day as if it is your last.'
