Gold and Grace

Bol

Earl Young, an Olympic sprinter, businessman, and cancer survivor, has entered a final race to save lives. Gold and Grace follows the story of Earl Young, who won Olympic gold in 1960 at nineteen, appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and embarked on a globetrotting finance career in the oil, gas, and precious metals industries. At the age of 71, Earl was diagnosed with leukemia and given only three months to live. Miraculously, a stem cell match was found with a woman in a small village in Germany. After a difficult recovery, Earl dedicated himself to passing on the blessings of his donor's unselfish gift. He created Earl Young's Team, a non-profit that recruits stem cell donors to help others stricken with deadly blood cancers. Earl Young encourages readers to develop their God-given gifts and find their highest purpose in serving others, just as he has done. "I believe the most meaningful life is one of purpose, especially when our purpose is greater than ourselves."
