I was able to listen to Alonzo Mournings story about his medical condition. I felt his story actually hit home. There is an individual at a local radio station that is battling kidney failure and it’s very difficult for her at this time with a minor child to take care of. Her name is Connie Donell of a 92Q radio station in Nashville,Tn. I would like it alot if Alonzo could speak with connie and share his experience and give her the inspiration that he had when he was going through his medical condition. I hyave been looking for the book that alonzo has out so that I can give it to her as a gift to read, but I don’t know where to locate the book. Can you help in anyway.
