Running for My Life by Lopez Lomong
Lopez Lomong chronicles his inspiring ascent from a barefoot lost boy of the Sudanese Civil War to a Nike sponsored athlete on the US Olympic Team. Every reader will find in his story the human spark to pursue dreams that might seem unthinkable, even from circumstances that might appear hopeless.
Lopez Lomong was born in Kimotong, a small village in southern Sudan, in 1985. Taken by rebel soldiers from the Sudan People’s Liberation Army at age 6, Lomong embarked on the long journey from refugee camps to the world’s largest athletic stage—the Olympics. Founder of the Lopez Lomong Foundation, Lomong spends each day working to improve the lives of children in his homeland. Award-winning author and storyteller Mark Tabb has authored and coauthored over forty books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller and Mom’s Choice Award winner Mistaken Identity. His book Convicted: An Innocent Man, the Cop Who Framed Him, and an Unlikely Journey of Forgiveness and Friendship, written with Jameel McGee and Andrew Collins, received a 2017 Christopher Award. His other New York Times bestsellers include The Light Within Me with Fox and Friends coanchor Ainsley Earhardt, A Promise to Ourselves with Alec Baldwin, The Unusual Suspect with Stephen Baldwin, and The Sacred Acre: The Ed Thomas Story.
