ESPN SportsCenter anchor and co-host of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning Mike Greenberg, Delta Iota/Northwestern 1989, explores the effects of cancer and the bonds formed during the battle in his new novel All You Could Ask For - all from a woman's perspective.
Greenberg was inspired by his close friend Heidi Armitage's battle with cancer and the sisterhood and devotion of the friends that supported her. In All You Could Ask For, Greenberg shares an intertwining tale of three different women who form a bond over an online support group as they each battle cancer. Greenberg sought assistance from his wife and other female friends to ensure that his female perspective and voice were accurate.
A graduate of Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism, Greenberg's 2006 Why My Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot was a best seller. Greenberg also co-authored 2010's Mike and Mike's Rules For Sports and Life with his co-host, Mike Golic. Golic, along with other fans, often refers to Greenberg as "Greeny".
In honor of his friend Heidi and all those battling cancer, all earnings from All You Could Ask For will be donated to the V Foundation For Cancer Research. A review of of Brother Greenberg's novel can be found in the March 29, 2013 Entertainment Weekly magazine and on the V Foundation's website. ESPN provides additional information about the novel here.
All You Could Ask For is published by William Morrow and is available now on Amazon or at other national book stores and retailers. Greenberg is currently on tour promoting his book and his schedule can be found here.
