    Sorry posted in wrong forum....did not see a delete option...

    Im Joe Farrington and today I celebrate day #269th of my Heart Attack Recovery! I joined the Mended Hearts sight to support and encourage other survivors. I had my heart attack on 29 Sept 2016, it took 30 days before I finally convinced doctors to go in an do a cath operation. I now own 6 stents, I was literally running on empty. I've refused to let this bump in life's road to slow me down. 120 days from my stents placement I ran a 5K with my wife. We've completed five 5Ks and one 5 Mile race in 2017. Everyone's story and ability to recover is different. But we are survivors, so we should never give up or let others feel alone! I look forward to connecting with many around the world to support the team!

    Thanks Joe Farrington
