“Hope is to the soul what oxygen is to the body.” – Larry Fricks.
Larry Fricks, Vice President of Peer Services for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), will be featured on NBC’s The Today Show on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. EST.
From the press release:
Fricks will discuss his personal story as highlighted in Strong at the Broken Places, the newly-released book by Richard M. Cohen, the threetime Emmy Award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of Blindsided. Cohen has lived with multiple sclerosis for over 25 years and spent three years chronicling the lives of Fricks and four others who also live with chronic illnesses. His new book shares their remarkable and inspirational stories. As Cohen himself says, “This book profiles five strong people on the front lines of illness. Each fights a different war….they are extraordinary for their resolve….They, and their families, speak from the heart and tell their stories with pride.”
