Synopsis After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 35, Cami Walker tried to numb her pain with prescription drugs and pity, but she was unable to recover until an African medicine woman recommended a healthy dose of generosity. Walker embarked on a mission to give away something every day for 29 days, and she discovered that charity truly is contagious. She describes her extraordinary month of giving, revealing how the simplest gift, whether it be a phone call, a handful of change or a family heirloom, can make a huge difference in the life of both the giver and the recipient.

Publisher's Note Recounts how the author was advised to focus her attention on others as part of her therapy after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, describing the transformative benefits of giving gifts that inspired her to create the online 29-Day Giving Challenge to help others to renew life energy.
Industry Reviews "Walker's a plucky writer, and it's hard not to be inspired by her story. Plus, the community she created online does a great deal of good, including helping to fund a cancer patient's surgery. Can 29 GIFTS work? Well, at the very least, it makes you more aware of the good in your life, and it shifts the focus from yourself to others." (10/04/2009)
