He gave a lecture called "the last lecture" about what you would say if it was your last lecture and you were dying. It's a hypothetical thing but in his case it's true. I want to go out and buy his book..

In Sept. they gave him 2-3 months or so and he's been going on this long. The last thing I read was the cancer has spread as of May of this year to his lungs, lymph nodes and other areas which is very sad. But he is very inspirational so I still want to buy and read his book

I have heard and seen him a few times. I don't know WHERE he gets his energy. He isn't going down without a fight, that's for Damn sure.
