Description

For the first time, one of the most gifted athletes in professional football talks about his battle to understand depression, a condition that began at age 18 when his mother was tragically murdered while working as an off duty police officer.

Left to raise five younger siblings with the help of his grandmother, the Pro Bowl running back dedicated himself to his family and his game, becoming a star at Florida State University and later with the NFL.  But success on the field came at the cost of his emotional wellbeing.

For a decade, Dunn buried the pain while ignoring its symptoms, until a teammate, with whom he played when he was an Atlanta Falcon, convinced him to seek counseling—a taboo in the NFL and in the African American community.  Uplifting and thought-provoking, Running for My Life is the true story of Dunn's silent and emotional struggle, of one athlete’s compulsion to help his family and eventually himself, of closing the door on a painful past by facing his mother’s killer on death row, and, most importantly, a first person account of his journey in learning to become a man.
