RedDAY Stories
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.”
John’s Story
“I lost complete faith in my body. My body let me down. It was very depressing and upsetting and I felt like a victim.”
Dianne’s Story
“I thought I had a virus. I was not afraid at the moment of my heart attack, I didn’t think that I was dying…I didn’t know the signs.”
