John Godinet is an irrepressible Pacific Islander and ultra-runner living with his husband Peter in Maryland. He’s outrun abuse as a teenager and discrimination as an adult but now has a new adversary: ALS. John and Peter have a tried-and-true survival strategy: a deep-seated love cultivated over 40 years cloaked in biting humor. But can this carry them through the days ahead?
