"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat
cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you
live." - Stuart Scott
The fearless, intimate, and inspiring story behind ESPN anchor Stuart
Scott's unrelenting fight against cancer, with a foreword by Robin
Roberts.
Shortly before he passed away, on January 4, 2015, Stuart Scott
completed work on this memoir. It was both a labor of love and a love
letter to life itself. Not only did Stuart relate his personal
story--his childhood in North Carolina, his supportive family, his
athletic escapades, his on-the-job training as a fledgling sportscaster,
his being hired and eventual triumphs at ESPN--he shared his intimate
struggles to keep his story going. Struck by appendiceal cancer in 2007,
Stuart battled this rare disease with an unimaginable tenacity and
vigor. Countless surgeries, enervating chemotherapies, endless shuttling
from home to hospital to office and back--Stuart continued defying fate,
pushing himself through exercises and workout routines that kept him
strong. He wanted to be there for his teenage daughters, Sydni and
Taelor, not simply as their dad, but as an immutable example of
determination and courage.
Every Day I Fight is a saga of love, an inspiration to us all.
