At the age of 52 and suffering from terrible chronic back pain, Victor D’Altorio decided to end his life. Victor was a proud homosexual, a lover of life, honest, and outrageous. As an acting teacher of the Meisner technique for 20 years, he was committed to living in the moment, and accepting all that that had to offer, however painful it may be. But after fighting bone marrow cancer into remission he found himself with debilitating degenerative disc disorder in his neck and back, and he could not deny the pain that he was in or the dim prospects of relief. He decided to tell everyone (via his blog) that he was going to kill himself. This is the starting point for our story.
