A mighty “CONGRATULATIONS!!!” is going out to John Deysher, a heart valve patient from our Community<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John, who had a successful mitral valve repair surgery<\/a> five years ago, just completed a coast-to-coast bike ride with Tom, his brother.\u00a0 That’s right. John and Tom rode 2,600 miles across the Southern tier of the United States.\u00a0 Unbelievable!!!<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 6-week bicycling trek took John and Tom all the way from San Diego, California to Jacksonville Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n

As John wrote me, “The top 2 motivating factors (equally important) were: First, to spend time with my younger brother (age 62) on a challenging adventure that would bring out the best in us. Second, I wanted to perhaps inspire other heart valve patients to pursue their dreams with gusto and not wait too long. It’s never too late!”<\/p>\n

I think John is 1,000% correct and then some…<\/p>\n

Whether you have heart disease or not, how can you not love and be inspired by John’s wonderful accomplishment?<\/p>\n
