Three Heart Transplant Recipients to Compete in Iron Man Triathlon

Three transplant athletes will compete in the PPD Beach2Battleship Iron Man relay in November!

NFT patient Brian Barndt received a heart transplant in 2005 and has since received multiple medals at the transplant games. Heart transplant recipient Kyle Garlett will also participate, along with Mark Black, who is a heart and double-lung transplant recipient.

The men hope to use this opportunity as a way to raise awareness about the vital need for organ donors. NFT wishes them the best of luck and we look forward to following them on this journey!
