Rollercoaster at Riverview: That's Life!
Available here by donation only
The "Rollercoaster" book is nearly 200 pages of inspirational stories, poems, photographs, and drawings with the theme "The Treasure of Today." These have been collected by Mary Lowe, a brain tumor survivor from Washington State who joined the BRAINTMR mailing list in 1995 and quickly became one of the group's leaders with gentle spirit. Over half the compositions in Rollercoaster at Riverview: That's Life are by members of the BRAINTMR mailing list including folk singer David bailey of "Not by Chance." Other contributors include such cancer survivors as the well known author Dr. Bernie Siegel. Because the idea for this book originated on the Internet, and so many people from the online BRAINTMR community contributed to it, we believe it will be of historical significance. Production of the book was made possible by many dedicated volunteers in Washington state. Publication services were donated by Dan Jursnick. The book is currently available from Rollercoaster, Inc. by donation only.
100% of the net proceeds from donations for Rollercoaster at Riverview: That's Life will be split equally between The Healing Exchange BRAIN TRUST and Cancer Care of Washington State.
The book is currently in press and will be available for shipping in April 1998.

500 Copies of Rollercoaster were made in the first printing and we hope to run a second printing contingent upon immediate donations for the book. We believe this book will profoundly effect those who read it. We hope to find a national publisher and publicist.
