To anyone and everyone who wanted to give up but didn’t, who hit rock bottom and came back swinging—or anyone who ever wanted to—this book is for you. George (Monk) Foreman III teams up with Mary McAlary, a mom and grandmother fighting MS, to co-author the ultimate motivational playbook.

The Fighting Spirit: The Art of Winning Your Fight is the first in the Everybody Fights book series, part of the heartfelt mission of 31-year-old George Foreman III, the son of the great boxing legend George Foreman, to build and foster a community of  “everyday fighters” and inspire their journeys by sharing their stories. George III and Mary, who was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago, seem to be unlikely family at first, but their “fight” and philosophy of living bring them together to share their life-changing stories and personal hard-won lessons. Together, they pack a punch of inspiration. Readers will learn the key Fight Laws needed to win their own battles—and ultimately be able to join a growing community of truly inspirational people. The book is chockfull of motivating wisdom as well as tips for wellness and living with MS—and a few of Mary’s favorite healthy recipes, too.  Why? Because EVERYBODYFIGHTS.  As George III says, “It’s about chomping at the bit to wake up and defy the odds every day. It’s about being scared to death and saddling up anyway. It’s about turning your fight ON when you have a diagnosis! Fighting is not a sport—it’s a spirit.”

After over 10 years as a professional athlete in the world of sports management and marketing, George Foreman III combined his knowledge and experience from the two industries he knows best to form The Club, a lifestyle, state-of-the-art fitness facility based in Boston that embodies the concept EVERYBODYFIGHTS.  George saw an opportunity to service a sincere need: to provide a truly authentic community based on a “fighting spirit” that motivates inside and out. The Club is community driven by its members of all ages and demographics. A graduate of Rice University, George has been active as a professional boxer, achieving a record of 15-0 (14 KOs). George III also served as agent and manager to his boxing legend dad, George Foreman Sr., for over seven years.
