Reviews

“Intensely personal account...There are more than a few interesting revelations that will be of particular interest to Bucs fans...only in reading this stunningly honest account can you begin to understand that Dunn became what he never set out to become: a role model.” - St. Petersburg Times

“Inspiring...If his stellar NFL career and charitable efforts don’t impress you, his backstory will.” - Sports Illustrated

“Dunn tells his remarkable story off the field.” - Ebony

“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. It’s a about a remarkable young man coming to grips with the loss of his mother...Dunn’s struggle, his perseverance, and his willingness to share his journey are what make “Running For My Life” worth reading.” - Tallahassee Democrat
