This was an inspirational story of one person's fight against one of the most devastating diseases. As a resident of the Boston area and ALS advocate who been able to meet some of the individuals featured in the book, it was nice to have the familiarity with the surrounding events leading up to this amazing story. Keep fighting the fight!

Incredible. The Frates family are ... well, there are not words for the passion, purpose, love, and determination that each family member - and Pete, especially - possess. This is a quick read that will change your perspective, and most likely endear you to a cause that people knew little about before Pete Frates. Inspirational, emotional, must read.

The writing is a little trite at times, but beyond that, this is the incredible story behind the story of the ice-bucket challenge. Despite taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge myself, I'm saddened by how little I actually knew about the deeply personal story at the heart of the phenomenon that started here in Boston but galvanized people all around the world.
