Augie Nieto, a fitness entrepreneur who revolutionized the industry with his product The Lifecycle, was at the peak of his professional success when he was afflicted with ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, at age 47. Diagnosed in 2005 with a condition that in most cases leads to death within two to three years, Nieto is still going strong. Augie's Quest to Cure ALS, an organization he founded, has raised more than $60 million for ALS research. Augie relates his inspiring tale in deeply personal, moving terms.
