We never know where our journeys will lead, and even when things do not go as expected, we can still discover our purpose. For eighteen-year-old David Mannino, a cancer diagnosis would suddenly change the direction of his journey and put him on a path of inspiring hope and courage.

Run to Win is the inspiring memoir of David Mannino's challenging seven-month battle with cancer, as he becomes a testimony of strength, courage, and faith. Told in his own words in Facebook posts, and shared through the reflections of his mother and author Annita M. Mannino, David's journey will prick your heart and leave a permanent mark as you take a ride along with an exuberant, accomplished young man who was focusing on life's next educational goals and aspiring to become a doctor-only to be derailed with a life-altering diagnosis.

Run to Win gives hope to those troubled in spirit, uplifts one's soul when in a valley, and provides confirmation of the grace and sovereignty of God our Father through the workings of the Holy Spirit. Plug into the interactions and relationships of David with family, friends, and a vast social circle, and see in David's life an example of trusting in God even when faced with the unexpected.
