In the press
The decision that made the news
In 2013 Erez chose to have his right leg amputated, against the advice of three of his four surgeons. Then he started training to become the first amputee to attempt the Dakar Rally on a motorcycle. That is the story the press covered.
The lesson came later. He was chasing the Dakar to prove he was still the man he had been before the accident. Some decisions move you forward. Others protect who you used to be.
