Author Gary Klausner will speak and sign his memoir, Never Say Never:
A Life of Challenges, which is about his life struggle with Cystic
Fibrosis.
Never Say Never: A Life of Challenges is a memoir by Gary Klausner, who at the age of ten years old was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and is about the challenges he has encountered throughout his life. For the past thirty six years he has faced every challenge head on with his never say never attitude and has been an inspirational and motivational force to all who have met him. At the age of 33 Gary left his six-day-old twin boys and his wife, Robin, to move to North Carolina to be wait-listed for a double lung transplant at Duke University Hospital not knowing if he would ever see them again. Since receiving his double lung transplant in 1998 Gary's mission has been to spread the word about Cystic Fibrosis and Organ Donation. He has been featured on several television shows including: Bravo TV Channel "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," The Discovery Health Channel "Beating the Odds" and News 12 Long Island. In addition, he has been honored by several organizations including the Boomer Esiason Foundation, and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for his courage and
inspirational achievements.
