The Cross Carried Me: written with Sandra Pugh Wood

Linda spent her life pushing the limits of science and physical endurance. As a Clinical Research Scientist, specializing in Oncology, she conducted clinical trials on nearly every continent. Outside oncology research, she thrived on extreme fitness—climbing mountains, running marathons, completing triathlons, skiing, and cycling across countries worldwide. Her commitment to excellence even led her to serve at the Olympics beginning in 1984, where she conducted banned‑substance screenings for athletes. But in 2018, everything changed. After eating contaminated food, Linda developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that suddenly and severely damaged her nerves. Within days she was completely paralyzed, engulfed in unbearable pain, and facing the terrifying belief that she might die. When she realized she was still alive, she found herself praying for relief through death. In her darkest moments, Linda drew on the two forces that had powered her entire life—her deep faith in Jesus Christ and her fierce competitive spirit. Refusing to surrender, she fought her way back from paralysis. The journey was long, grueling, and marked by countless obstacles, but her determination never faltered. This book tells the extraordinary story of Linda’s rise, her devastating fall, and her courageous battle to reclaim her life. It is a testament to resilience, faith, and the unstoppable strength of the human spirit.
