Alan Labonte
Alan really knows how to stay on the go and has been doing just that in promoting the sales of his new book, "A MILLION REASONS Why I Fought for the Rights of the Disabled," while using his Go-Go Elite Traveller.
Alan's book chronicles his life after being hired as the executive director of a prestigious Boston law firm. He worked diligently to bring the firm out of its deepening financial crisis, was given a generous salary increase at the end of his first year - but, in the months following his informing the partners that he had contracted multiple sclerosis, he was dismissed "for cause." At first, Alan and his lawyer sought only a modest financial settlement. The law firm's stubborn position carried the case into a classic legal battle under the Massachusetts statute prohibiting handicap discrimination. The landmark decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court set a new legal precedent for people with disabilities in America. Alan's book A MILLION REASONS is a true legal drama, but just as importantly is a highly personal account of the spiritual journey he took to reach the final verdict. A new chapter is now unfolding in Alan's life. His immediate plans are to give the keynote address at a meeting of the Texas Bar Association in Austin, Texas and for a tour that will begin in Atlanta and culminate back in Boston. From there, he's sure to find continued success on any path he travels. And with his Go-Go Travel Scooter, the journey will be a whole lot easier. A Million Reasons is available from Hot House Press. |
