John, you're amazing!  I hope I get to meet you on the PCT sometime soon.
Congrats on your victories!  I'll buy your book.  :)

I am a stage 4 lung cancer survivor (Aug 2006), prostate cancer (Nov 2010)
and throat cancer (Dec 2010) and have hiked 1353 miles of the PCT in the
past 2 years.  I too am writing a book and much of the proceeds will go to
the American Lung Association.  I also plan on donating a significant part
of the proceeds to the PCT.  I hope I am able to donate a lot.

My book is more about the cancers and the PCT helps demonstrate my
overcoming adversity.  I have struggled hiking the PCT and I don't think
many people will be inspired to hike based on my experiences.
