Click here to order now! http://www.fightingtogive.com/ About the Book The inspirational story of an ordinary man with an extraordinary amount of determination. Raised in Gary, Indiana, his only dream was to go to the University of Notre Dame. Though only 5'6" inches tall he earned nine letters in high school and graduated with honors. Rejected on three different attempts to get into ND, he finally gets in on a probationary basis. He walks onto the golf team, earns four letters and sets the course record of 64 that still stands. His life gets more amazing from there and it reads like a combination of Rudy, Forrest Gump and Tuesdays With Morrie. After achieving success in the corporate world, he revives a community college outreach program in Salem, Oregon and helps more than 600 businesses. Stricken with a fatal illness he dedicates his life to raising money to find a cure. No longer able to walk or talk, he keeps inspiring all by fighting to give so that a cure may be found. A inspiring story of commitment, passion, perseverance and a love of golf, family and Notre Dame Editorial Reviews From capturing a national championship in biddy basketball, to collecting nine letters in three different sports in high school, to earning four letters as a walk-on to the Notre Dame golf team, Jimmy proved himself a winner. The tenacity he cultivated as a young athlete served him well in his professional career. A record-setting sales manager for multinational corporations, he founded a successful retail chain and taught business classes. After surviving prostate cancer and hepatitis C, Jimmy seemed immune even to mortality--until a diagnosis of ALS served notice that his time was limited. Drawing on his characteristic energy and determination, Jimmy vowed to devote his remaining days to raising money and awareness for ALS research. As part of this effort, he reached out to a fellow Notre Dame alum to write his story....Through his tribute Stevens ultimately demonstrates the interconnected nature of humanity...This powerful biography is touching and motivational. --Kirkus Discoveries Review. About the Author Christopher Stevens is Vice President of Sales for Keurig Premium Coffee Systems. When he learned of an old friend's illness, Christopher reached out to him in support. A former basketball player at the University of Notre Dame and a businessman the past 35 years, the father of five never expected his ill classmate to ask him to write his life story. After spending a day with Jimmy Culveyhouse, Christopher accepted the challenge. Having endured his own series of tragedies, Stevens agreed to write Jimmy's story. The result is a moving portrait of a friend who has been given a medical death sentence. However, he has dedicated the remainder of his life to raising money for research to find a cure for the disease that will kill him. This is Stevens' first book. He lives with his family in Massachusetts and dedicates this book to Jimmy and the many family members and friends who did not live long enough to enjoy the legacy they worked so hard to build.
