When the Swedish Paralympic shooter Jonas Jacobsson was three months old, doctors determined that he was paralyzed from the waist down. It was likely he would spend his entire life confined to bed, and the message to his parents was clear: Leave him here!

His parents chose to follow their convictions and defy the doctors' advice. They took Jonas home and fought to give him the conditions he needed to be able to take care of himself in the future.

Forty-seven years later, they sat in the stands in London and watched Jonas win his 17th Paralympic gold medal. That victory made Jonas Jacobsson the only Paralympian to have won at least one gold medal at nine consecutive Paralympic Games, making him the most successful male Paralympic athlete of all time. He has a total of 30 Paralympic medals and 38 World Championship medals.

Leave Him Here is Jonas Jacobsson's autobiography, a reflection on his childhood, life, and athletic career, shaped by hardship and triumph, humour and outstanding accomplishments.

The story is filled with humour and moments of laughter. This book is not just for sports enthusiasts, but for anyone seeking inspiration and a captivating story about daring to take risks in order to truly win something.

The book is written by Aja Lind, who has listened to Jonass stories for over 15 years, and has been part of many of them herself.
