The books based on Greg's story -- The  First Thirty by Jillip Naysinthe Paxson, and expanded version The Silhouette Man  -- highlight positive lessons we learn from sports as well as lessons that are  relevant to those who play sports -- including leadership, teamwork, work ethic, perseverance and diversity. The First Thirty was honored in 2007 as NSDLC  Multicultural Relations Book of the Year. College & pro sports teams, food & beverage companies, and health & fitness related organizations have  ordered copies of the books for their own staff, team members, clients, donors,  beneficiaries, local students in their respective communities and/or as gifts. In some cases, they have also sponsored contests  based on the book in their community. Examples include: Toronto Blue Jays,  Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, St. John's University women's soccer team,  General Mills, a chapter of the MS Society, The Republic of Tea, Foot Associates  of New York, Wellbridge Athletic Club, Youth Against MS, and branches of places  like GNC Live Well and Jamba Juice. In some cases, groups or individuals  have bought copies of the books for teams. For example, Minneapolis-St. Paul  International Airport ordered copies for the Rochester Red Wings (AAA affiliate  of the Minnesota Twins)
