Summary:
"Doctor
Jared
Noel
knew he was dying for almost six years, from the age of 25. But when it looked as though he would not live to see the birth of his child, he began a Givealittle crowd-funding campaign to raise money for a course of chemo treatment that would keep him alive long enough to meet his unborn child. This remarkable campaign, covered by nationwide media, raised an incredible $170,000 in two days.
Jared
not only lived to see Elise born but also enjoyed her first nine months.
Jared
's blog, initially written to alleviate boredom during rounds of chemotherapy, attracted hundreds of thousands of readers. He used it to challenge the taboos of death and dying with humour and unnerving honesty, and wrote with clinical precision and pragmatism.
Jared
had the knack of turning conversation stoppers into conversation starters. In his final weeks,
Jared
put his story together with the help of writer David Williams, primarily so that his baby daughter Elise might one day know her father. This is
Jared
's story, but it is also a profound meditation on life and death, and everything in between."--From publisher.
