Description: "This book is the tale of a remarkable man. With his excellent physical condition and active lifestyle, Johannes Lisiecki was not a likely candidate for heart disease. Yet one day he found himself suffering a major cardiac event that soon led to open heart surgery and a complicated recovery. Despite the challenges, within a year Johannes was swimming many miles each week, had established an organization to promote awareness of congenital heart disease, and set a goal to swim the Strait of Gibraltar. His endurance and perseverance amazed the doctors, but Johannes believes other heart patients can make the same dramatic recovery."--Page 4 of cover.
