About this listen

STRENGTH, RESILIENCE, POWER

Strong is the moving and heartbreaking memoir from celebrity campaigner, endurance athlete, and father of an angel, Ashley Cain. Charting his daughter's birth and the fight for her life when she was diagnosed with leukaemia at 7 weeks old, Ashley reflects on his life and his own struggles since Azaylia's passing in 2021.

Ashley embodies strength and resilience - recently setting up The Azaylia Foundation and taking part in extreme physical challenges to raise crucial funds and awareness for children fighting cancer - so though Strong is a moving tribute to his daughter, it will also encompass the practical and positive mindset that Ashley now embodies, tying his emotional and physical grief into his extreme challenges, in order to provide inspiration and comfort to others struggling with loss and other mental health challenges.

I used this book to listen to on my runs and it is truly one of the most inspiring and motivating books out there. listening to the hardships and struggles Ashley went through is devastating but his grit and determination to be positive throughout shines through.

I remember the days of Ex on the beach and it's incredible to hear Ashley's story.

I didn’t know who Ashley was before Azaylias passing but I’m so immensely proud of this young man and all he doesn’t in her name. This book was so well read. It felt natural and authentic. Honest and raw. It’s lovely to hear him speak of Safiyya with such a beautiful portrayal.
Azaylia can be nothing but proud of you just as Aliyas will be too.

Proud!
