In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
This is a picture of me and my younger brother Eric at my son's wedding in May 2025. A little over a year later he posted this on Facebook:
"Well I'm still alive and kicking.
Been having issues lately and came to VA for an endoscopy which turned into today having emergency heart procedure.
I had some blockages and am now the proud owner of a stent!!!!
For my haters out there, you can't get rid of me...to my supporters, that you and I can't wait to be even more supportive of you and all your efforts!!!!"
He has psoriatic arthiritis which caused his heart veins to become inflamed and close. He had a 100% blockage on one secondary artery and a 90% blockage on his left interior descending. a.k.a. the widow maker
