The Start of the Lucky Frog’s Triathlon Club

A Couple Years Ago I Was Given A 5% Chance Of Living. Unknowingly I Suffered Two Silent Heart Attacks And Was Having My Third. I Thought I Was Catching A Cold. I Told My Wife That My Chest Hurt She Suggested That I Go To The Hospital, I Said No! Two Days Later I Was So Weak I Couldn’t Stand Up To Put My Clothes On Finally, I Let My Wife Drive Me To The Hospital.

I Was Rapidly Going Downhill. My Heart Was Failing And I Was Put On Life Support, So My Wife Was Told To Pray And Call In Our Family Because Being A Diabetic A Heart Transplant Was Out Of The Question. Just Stabilizing My Heart Would Take A Miracle. They Did Not Think I Would Walk Out Of The Hospital Alive!

I Am Told That My Wife Stayed By My Bedside Talking And Playing My Favorite “Eddie From Ohio” Music, Thru My Coma I Must Have Heard Her And The Music For My Heart Started To Pump On It’s Own. My Doctors Discovered That My “LAD” Was 98% Blocked And They Operated And Put A Stint In!

I Was Brought Out Of The Coma To Discover What I Had Gone Thru, That I Shouldn’t Be With Us Today!  I Was Only 43!  I Am Thankful For Each New Day I Am Given And Now Challenge Myself To New Heights. Life Is To Short And Often Taken For Granted.

I Have Just Finished My First Sprint Triathlon And I Intend To Do Many More, While Letting People With Diabetes And Heart Disease Know That Life Is Not Over And You Can Still Challenge Yourself And Live A Wonderful, Fulfilling Life!

I Have Decided To Start A Triathlon Club, “The Lucky Frog’s Triathlon Club”! The Club Motto In Short Is, To Promote A Healthy Lifestyle Thru Swimming, Biking & Running. We Are A Multisport Club For People Of All Ages And Athletic Abilities!
