An Early Sunrise: My New Beginning is my journal written during my four-year battle with cirrhosis of the liver, hepatic encephalopathy, and liver cancer. With the heartfelt gift of life, my hero won my battle and gave me a second chance at life. I had the opportunity to express my feelings and emotions during my hellacious journey. I wanted to inspire others who are battling a terminal illness to fight, to never lose faith, and to hang on to hope. Writing this book was my sanctuary, finding peace within by expressing how I felt while I was dying. Many do not have the opportunity to receive a lifesaving organ transplant; instead they lose their lives waiting for an organ. There is a mass shortage of organ donors registered to give others the opportunity of a second chance at life. An organ donor can save up to eight lives. My hero lives on in me by giving me the gift of life. Consider becoming an organ, tissue, and eye donor, and become someone's Hero. You may register to become an organ donor at Registerme.org or at your local DMV. Donate life.
