But his greatest challenge began in early 2012 with a rare form of cancer that has caused him many years of pain through injections that became so toxic for his body that he almost died. During this journey, he learned that with all his pain and suffering you have two choices. Succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. Terry chose the latter.

Terry recently wrote the book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviours to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome.
