Heart transplant cancer patient running the Ironman World Championship

Wow! This story just makes you want to go to the gym and jump on a treadmill. Heart transplant recipient and cancer survivor Kyle Garlett will compete in October's Ironman World Championship! What an amazing success story of someone who defeated a serious illness.

• Kyle was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma as a high school senior in 1989.
• He developed leukemia as a result of his earlier chemotherapy.
• He received a heart transplant in 2006.
• Now he's running marathons and competing in triathlon.
  

Isn't it amazing what some people accomplish in their lives? I also really admire Lance Armstrong who battled testicular cancer and won multiple consecutive victories in the Tour de France. Time for me to go to the gym!
