With over 80 books in our library, this year we're taking some time every week to highlight one of the books on the Eckhartz bookshelf. This week's book is GelStrong, written by Mark Gelinas. Mark was a crusader on behalf of Pancreatic Cancer patients before succumbing to the disease himself in 2018. His book is an inspiration.
Summary
It started out as a personal journey, but that journey turned into a story, which turned into a book. Mark shares the very open and raw tale of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and the unexpected places that led him, his wife, and their family and friends. Funny, maybe. Emotional, yes. Fulfilling, absolutely.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to Winship Cancer Institute of Emory Healthcare in Atlanta. GA, to support their ongoing research in an effort to win the battle over cancer, specifically pancreatic cancer.
