That's a worthy cause. Ugh. I don't know anything about it, but degenerative diseases are a personal nightmare. I watched one of my family members deal with Parkinson's.
Thanks. It can happen to any us. The old saw about your health being everything is true. It certainly gives me a lot of empathy for Speakman, though.
Listening to Lucky Man: Een Memoire by & read by Michael J. Fox is an awesome experience. He's an optimist, but what he's gone through is pretty gruesome. This is one of the few times I'd recommend the audio version over the text. Careful not to get the abridged version, though.

Lucky Man: Een Memoire (other topics)Unfettered (other topics)
Unfettered is the brain-child of Terry Brooks who wanted to find a way to help out Shawn Speakman...his website designer who racked up $200,000 in uninsured medical expenses while fighting Hodgkin’s cancer. Terry donated a short story, and other fatnasy authors followed suit. No one is taking an compensation from their stories, all money will go paying off Shawn's bills, and if there is any left over...he'll start a fund to help other authors as well.
The line up for this project is legend. It includes:
Terry Brooks, Patrick Rothfuss, Naomi Novik, Brandon Sanderson, R.A. Salvatore, Tad Williams, Jacqueline Carey, Daniel Abraham, Peter V. Brett, Robert V.S. Redick, Peter Orullian, Todd Lockwood, Carrie Vaughn
Blake Charlton, Kevin Hearne, Mark Lawrence, David Anthony Durham, Jennifer Bosworth, Lev Grossman, Michael J. Sullivan, Eldon Thompson, and Shawn Speakman.
In addition to donating a Royce and Hadrian short story, I'm also going to help Shawn with formatting the ebook.
Current release schedule has the book going live in January. But you can add it to your shelves now: Unfettered. I'm proud to be part of this project, and can only imagine the great stories that will exist between it's pages.
