A little over a year ago, Darcy Wakefield was a single,
33-year-old athletic, workaholic English professor, a
vegetarian who had never had a serious health problem or
injury. Then she was diagnosed with ALS, and her world
turned upside down. I Remember Running is Darcy's story of
change and loss and challenges during her first year with
ALS, as she struggles to make sense of her diagnosis and
redefine herself in the face of this terminal illness. With
unflagging courage, wit, and eloquence, Darcy shares what
she calls her "fast-forward" life, a life in which she
applies for disability, leaves her job, and plans her own
funeral as well as meets and moves in with her true love,
buys a house, and gives birth to her first child in less
time than it takes most of us to accomplish even one of
these things. Beautifully written and wholly inspiring, I
Remember Running proves that it is possible to live a rich,
meaningful life after being diagnosed with a terminal
illness, and will move readers to see the world in a
different light.
