An overview of his businesses successes are listed including his founding of the investment firm Rainwater Inc. Information is provided on how the degenerative disease has forced him into 24-hour care, how many of his friends have attempted to find a cure for the disease, and how doctors have advised him that he will likely not live beyond the year 2013.
