An AGH (Allegheny General Hospital) Heart Transplant ran the Pittsburgh Marathon last Sunday. I thought about him today and I went back tonight and found his photograph. I took it just before Mile 20.
Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?
Wishing him all the best!
According to the article below from WTAE he had the transplant just 17 months ago

Yes, it is Ken. Thanks.
I can’t run a marathon and I have my original heart. Props to him!
Thank you Sue
As a family, we are aware of the miracle of transplantation. This gentleman and his accomplishments are a testament to the wonders of medicine that we have witnessed personally. One message…become an organ donor…many people are waiting anxiously for this same opportunity.
Thank you Jack and Took
Amazing!
Seriously amazing
Remarkable!!
You are so right, Cee!
Whoa – incredible. Such gratitude to the donor, and his/her family.
Seriously. I can’t even imagine.
Hi, that is me! Thanks for all of the kind comments. Still running 5ks almost 7 years into my journey. Just signed up for a triathlon in October.
I’m so happy to hear from you and that you are still running. Wishing you all the best. I hope I get to Photograph you again. Best, Ruth
