It's Not All Doom And Gloom Around Here
It's no secret I enjoy going to the US Transplant Games, kickin some @ss, and bringing home some medals. Well, you know I couldn't go this year, but local boy Jon Hochstein picked up the torch and ran with it.
If you think my story is special, check out his. He had a HEART Transplant at age 4, Survived Cancer as a fourth grader, lived through organ rejection a year later...All that before the age of 13, that's too much to ask a kid to handle.
Jon went out to Pittsburgh and picked up a silver in the 1K time trial. I've said it before, the 1K time trial is a very intense event. The difference between winning and losing can be seconds. It's so short you need to go all out, for Jon to take a silver is very impressive. My hats off to you.
