John Brennan, heart transplant recipient – Member of the Football Team.

I was 11 years old when I found out that I had a Heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, inherited from my mother. Life continued as normal through my teenage years until May 2001 when my mum passed away unexpectedly due to complications of the Heart condition. This is when I received more intense tests and found out that it was more severe than first thought as I received an implantable ICD that could give my Heart an electrical shock if needed.
