I Remember Running: The Year I Got Everything I Ever Wanted - And ALS

This is a truly emotional and thought provoking book. She endured a deadly disease with grace and courage... teaching the reader how to live and die gracefully. Very powerful!

Beautiful

Darcy Wakefield's memoir is a beautifully written account of her life after contracting ALS. It is told in an epidodic fashion and could be read in one sitting. However, I found myself wanting to savor each moment with Ms. Wakefield. Last year I read "Chasing Daylight" and they make good companion peices. Her courage and honesty are inspiring.

Moving, Beautiful, Inspirational

This is very well written and so easy to read. In fact, it was hard to put down. Anyone who knows anyone struggling with ALS or any progressive, debilitating disease, will be able to identify easily with her and get a lot out of this. And everyone else will get incredible insights into what life is like dealing with a disease like this, as we live through the human day-to-day struggles right along with her, through her touching stories. And far from being depressing or heavy, this book is very inspirational and uplifting, and it shows the very best in the human spirit. I highly recommend this, it is very worthwhile reading.

Inspiration Where You Might Least Expect It

Darcy Wakefield in her mid thirties was diagnosed with ALS. Coping with ALS must surely be one of the most difficult of life threatening illnesses, for every step along the way brings greater challenge and diminishment. There is no uncertainty with this diagnosis, except for the amount of time left and swiftness of the onset of debilitating symptoms. Darcy is a most engaging person from the very first pages of her book and what happens in the year after she was diagnosed is nothing short of remarkable. I cannot think of a more inspiring book. She lives every moment fully and is an example of a person who knows how to live life well no matter what the limitations. She experiences and expresses a very full range of emotional life and writes powerfully and beautifully. When I finished this book,I felt so enriched, and I could not help but feel immensely grateful that she had written it.

An Amazing Year for One with ALS

An inspiring book for anyone facing disability or a terminal illness. Actually there's a lot that any of us can discover from reading about someone with Wakefield's spirit and attitude.
Wakefield's discovery that she has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) comes just as she meets Mr. Right. This book recounts her losses (walking, speech) and gains (love, a new home, a long-desired pregnancy).
