Présentation de l'éditeur
What happens to "orphan" diseases that aren't big enough profit centers for the pharmaceutical industry or get caught in the web of government funding and academic research? Augie Nieto found out in the spring of 2005: At forty-seven years old he was diagnosed with ALS. Devastated, Augie struggled with depression and attempted suicide. When he awoke from a coma, with friends and family surrounding him, his sense of faith and mission were renewed. Fast-forward one year: Augie and his wife, Lynne, were profiled as "Real Heroes" on the Today show. Their determination to beat the disease had already led to major overhauls in the way ALS research was conducted. In partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Augie had set up a foundation and lab to coordinate and oversee ALS research and testing across the globe. By centralizing operations and championing an entrepreneurial approach to medical research, Augie and his team accomplished remarkable results in less than two years. Part inspiration, part business innovation,
Augie's Quest illustrates how one person can make a meaningful difference. Praise for Augie Nieto: George H. W. Bush, former U.S. president: "Your contributions to the fitness industry are well known, and your dedication an inspiration." Lance Armstrong, seven-time "Le Tour de France" champion: "I think it says a lot about Augie, the fact that everybody came together regardless of whether or not it's for competing gyms or competing companies that make equipment. They all say, this is one of our own; this is a guy who's committed his life to our industry and has been dealt a serious blow. We're going to be there for him, we're going to say, we're here for you and we're part of the Quest." Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California: "Your success has been incredible. But you are so much more than just a successful businessman. You are the greatest husband, a great father, and a terrific friend. So,

It is impossible to imagine what it would be like to be told you had ALS. It seems like such an overwhelming thought. And what would you do after such a devestating diagnosis (since it could happen to anyone). Augie's Quest chronicles his journey from incredible business success to the crisis moment he was diagnosed with ALS. With his humanity, insight, humor, perspective and vision he redefined his life and changed the people around him. This compelling story and Augie Nieto's spirit has had real impact on my view of life and priorities. This story touches every emotion and is truly inspiring.

Wow! This book is amazing. Part diary, part confessional, Augie's story surprised and touched me. I have never met Augie, but after reading this book I feel like I have. This is a great American biography of the determination to overcome challenge after challenge. We all can relate to Augie's story, and I hope that other people will be just as inspired as I was after reading the book.
