Across the Land: One Man, One Mission, One Step at a Time
A True Story of Grit, Grace, and the Fight Against Alzheimer's
At age 62, Jack Fussell laced up his running shoes, packed a stroller named Wilson, and set off on foot from Savannah, Georgia, with one mission: to raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease in memory of his father.
What followed was a 2,600+ mile journey across America. Alone, without a support crew, Jack ran, jogged, and walked through ten states, stopping at nursing homes, Alzheimer's Association chapters, media outlets, and small-town diners. He listened to stories of love and loss. He gave out 3,000 purple bracelets. He raised over $27,000 for the Alzheimer's Association. And he made sure the world heard one name over and over: Alzheimer's.
Told in vivid narrative style, Across the Land is a powerful memoir of one man's commitment to a cause larger than himself. More than a running story, it's a human story, about purpose, perseverance, and the people who meet us along the way.
If you or someone you love is affected by Alzheimer's, help is available 24/7. Call 1-800-272-3900.
