A Brian’s Song for a new generation, featuring two pro
football stars known to millions of fans “Everson Walls’s display of unselfishness was the ultimate
example of teamwork. A life lesson for us all.” —James Brown, CBS Sports/Showtime “[This] moving story of courage, sacrifice, and offering the
ultimate gift to save a friend’s life is truly inspiring.” —Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay, legislative sponsor of the
Everson Walls and Ron Springs Gift of Life Act of 2009 After fourteen seasons as an NFL star, Everson Walls retired
to his hometown of Dallas, Texas. He and former Cowboys
teammate Ron Springs worked together on charities, and their
families became close. But, as time passed, Ron could no
longer conceal the ravaging effects of his diabetes. Before
Walls knew it, his friend’s life was on the line. In A Gift
for Ron, Walls tells the moving story of how he witnessed
the suffering of his former mentor and his family and, on
hearing that a potential kidney donor had fallen through,
learned that he and Ron shared something truly precious: a
blood type. Walls knew his only option—to donate a kidney to
save his friend’s life.
