Say "HELLO!" to my all-time favorite basketball player!
ALONZO MOURNING! *whooooooo*
Although he battled his way back to the NBA, winning a championship with the Miami Heat in 2006, Mourning believed that the most important and fulfilling part of his life still lay ahead.
Basketball, it turned out, was just the vehicle that would allow him to devote his talents and energies to a greater cause.
Alonzo Mourning’s return to basketball glory, already familiar to sports fans and non-sports fans alike, has inspired millions of patients suffering from kidney disease and living with dialysis, as well as organ donors around the world
. By sharing his experiences of the physical, emotional, and spiritual roller coaster of illness and recovery, Mourning hopes to deliver a message of faith and fire, hurdles and hope, trust and triumph.
Resilience is a story about the meaningful everyday lessons that he longs to share and about the things that truly matter in life.
Video on his book " Resilience" I really respected how he bounced back from his kidney disease! He never gave up! :D
Totally awesome.
