His story is powerful and motivating with practical advice that will empower you."- Lanny Bassham, Olympic Gold Medalist and author of With Winning in Mind "Don and I share an experience we would prefer no one else experience. Sadly, that is not how it will be for some. In Finish YOUR Race he has captured the elements of the race we were required to run. He takes a serious look at the life before the race, during the race and after the race is won. He guides you through the changes that come from being given a chance to live because someone else cared. I have never spoken with a bone marrow transplant survivor who was not now, having survived, more aware of their purpose in life. Don will take you through a portion of his life that lead him to his purpose."- Earl Young, Olympic Gold Medalist"At some point in our lives cancer will raise its ugly head and affect each and every one of us. A family member, a good friend or, heaven forbid, our own self will face a battle for our life. Cancer is a formidable foe. To have any chance of defeating the beast there must be a positive game plan. Don faced the diagnosis of AML head on and beat the odds with a positive, can do attitude. Everyones battle will follow a different course, but having a role model like Don gives us all hope that the result of the battle can be a healthy outcome."- Tom Kite, Hall of Fame Golfer"I have known Don Armstrong for 30 years. He was one of my Founding Partners of Golf Resources (now Weibring Wolfard Golf Design) and is one of the top agronomic experts in the country.
