We are celebrating Randy’s 10-year anniversary since receiving a SynCardia Total Artificial Heart! Randy has shown us what it means to live life to the fullest and embrace every opportunity with unwavering determination.
Randy found solace in the world of athleticism. Despite facing rheumatic fever not once, but twice, his love for sports pushed him to pursue a career in semi-professional baseball and various other sports. As his condition continued to deteriorate, doctors orchestrated a symphony of hope by implanting SynCardia’s temporary Total Artificial Heart. You can read more about Randy’s story here .
To mark this milestone, in June this year, Randy embarked on an epic hiking adventure in Arizona, defying all odds and conquering breathtaking mountains. His resilience and indomitable spirit serve as a powerful reminder to us that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Let us celebrate his incredible achievements and draw inspiration from his courage to overcome obstacles.
Randy’s words –
“Today marks my 10-year anniversary since receiving second chances with the total artificial heart, please express my gratitude to the company and to the staff for all they have allowed me to be able to do since that day. I have seen both of my daughters graduate from high school and get married I get to watch my son play sports and grow into a man, and I get to spend every day with me the most beautiful woman in the world. I am truly blessed far more than I deserve. Thank you SynCardia.”
The SynCardia team is delighted about this outcome, and we eagerly anticipate the chance to make a positive difference in the lives of more than 100,000 patients in the United States and patients worldwide who require a heart transplant.
