Throughout the first thirty two years of my life, I never thought my story of beating cancer over 2.5 years of chemotherapy treatments, congestive heart failure (#1), blood clots in my lungs and cycling across the United States six years after, was enough to garner respect and was worthy of sharing with full intentions of inspiring and motivating my potential/eventual audience. On July 27, 2017, I suffered a heart attack, which was caused by a golf ball sized blood clot in the left ventricle of my heart (heart failure #2) due to several years of chemotherapy, my heart finally needed some help. I received an LVAD via open heart surgery to help my heart with its function. Lastly, six months later on February 25, 2018, via another open heart surgery, I received a heart transplant to replace my completely damaged heart. I finally had my answer, my story was ready to be told and shared with the world.
