Tour de Heart
My 30+ year journey with heart issues:
As an athlete dealing with heart issues, I have had the challenge to overcome health obstacles in order to reach my goals.
Goal of Tour de Heart:
There is not enough hope and inspiration for people dealing with heart problems. My personal goal, and the reason I created Tour de Heart, is to show what is possible when we have the tools and information to manage our heart health. Also I want to provide visibility to the amazing lives people with heart issues are living.
Find Your Finish Line!
People often ask me how I got my active life back after 7 pacemakers, suffering from heart failure and open heart surgery. It starts with having the desire to set a goal and reach it. For me that has been to select bike races that I could train for and measure success when I cross the finish line. The races continue to get bigger and each finish line I cross puts me further away from being a victim of heart disease.
