Description
For eighty-nine days, Mimi Hughes swam twenty miles a day through nine European countries, driven by a desire for social change. Her incredible journey, chronicled in Wider Than a Mile, is as much about the power of human kindness as it is about her remarkable feat.
A mother of four and fifty-year-old woman, Hughes embarked on this adventure with her nineteen-year-old daughter, relying on the help of countless strangers who were inspired to assist them. The swim became secondary to the tale of love, loss, and resilience that unfolded along the way.
