The @conservancy match challenge is really down to the wire. Fundraising is not for the faint of heart - luckily my extra thick chambers are up to the task! (That was a #HypertrophicCardiomyopathy joke! Surely someone can think of a better one?)
I’m proud of the fact that I train with National level swimmers and hold my own. I can’t compete though as I have the sudden death heart condition #hypertrophiccardiomyopathy or #hcm. It’s hard to know how hard to push, but as the old cliche goes, if I die in the pool, at least I’ll die doing what I love. #swimming #heart
@Anya_Adora I see your Marfan Syndrome and raise you with my #hypertrophiccardiomyopathy aka #suddendeathsyndrome 😅

Let's #StayHealthy to #BeatHeartDisease , especially during these #HappyHolidays !

#MerryChristmasEve everyone!
