Paul’s Story
“You know, I was so fit. I was so healthy. I was doing triathlons. The discovery of heart disease was a real blow to the ego.”
Meredith’s Story
“Early on it just felt like I was really tired…I would be working out and I just couldn’t push myself any harder.”
Denise’s Story
“I don’t want to stop doing what I’m doing, because I feel like I’ve been given a second chance.”
