"Most athletes don't have an interesting autobiography in them, but Dunn, whose life changed when his mother was killed during his senior season of high school, certainly did." - Chicago Tribune
"I long ago tired of celebrity athletes baring all (thank you, Jose Canseco), but "Running For My Life" is cut from a different cloth. This isn't about scandal.
