But in September of that year he was diagnosed with a rare and fatal kidney disease. Over the next couple of years, as his health faltered, he retired, unretired, and retired again-and sought to make sense of what remained of his life. Finally in 2003, after a frantic search for a donor match, Mourning had a new kidney and a new outlook. He vowed to make this second chance count by dedicating his life to others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy sharing his experiences of the chasms and peaks of illness and recovery, Mourning delivers a message of faith and fire, trust and triumph. Resilience is a story of both meaningful everyday lessons and the things, great and small, that truly matter in life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlonzo Mourning was a seven-time NBA all-star and a two-time Defensive Player of the Year during his eleven-year career.
