FOX SPORTS RADIO evening host JOHN "JT THE BRICK" TOURNOUR has written a new book that chronicles not only his career development but his friendship with the late FSR programmer ANDREW ASHWOOD and the lessons learned during ASHWOOD's battle with cancer. A portion of proceeds from "The Handoff: A Powerful Memoir of Two Guys, Sports, and Friendship" will benefit CITY OF HOPE, where ASHWOOD received treatment,
“As I look back, I realize that while ANDREW truly felt that he would win, that he would survive, he also felt a sense of urgency,” writes TOURNOUR. “As I look back at those thirteen months, what I feel now is a kind of frenzy. Everything felt contracted, moving at a much faster pace. And every moment seemed critical.”
“JT has captured the magic of a great friendship mixed with the dynamic moving parts of our sports world - a perfect combination,” said JULIE TALBOTT, PREMIERE President of Content and Affiliate Services for National Media Groups, CLEAR CHANNEL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT. “Thanks to JT and CITY OF HOPE, this book will help others going through a similar emotional journey.”
