“This is a wonderful memoir written by a man with the greatest spirit and commitment. In the face of such unexpected and devastating adversity, a diagnosis of ALS, Chris Pendergast shows us how a committed and kind human being can change the world- from friends, to patients then on to researchers that he touched and who had the opportunity to get to know. His writings allow us all to glimpse into the man behind this valuable, compassionate mission. Good luck with the book!”
