Swim: A Memoir of Survival by Bill Coon

In 1989, Bill Coon was born with a congenital heart defect. That year, he received the fourth infant heart transplant in the Midwest and the eighth in the nation. At the age of 20, his transplanted heart began to fail, and due to a lifetime of medications, his kidneys failed as well.

After he was diagnosed with heart and kidney failure, Bill unknowingly began writing his first book on July 5, 2009 when he began journaling his thoughts. These thoughts would later become a story of a young man's physical, mental and spiritual journey as he fought the clock, awaiting a double transplant and another chance at life.

Swim: A Memoir of Survival was written to provide support for individuals who find themselves faced with a life-threatening or life-altering illness. Swim was written so readers would no longer feel alone in their journey. They are given the inspiration of knowing any obstacle can be overcome.

With this idea in mind, Bill developed the Give Back Program, which donates a percentage of book sales to organizations devoted to providing support for patients battling illnesses. By combining efforts, both the organization and BillCoonBooks.com can accomplish their mutually beneficial objective--helping the greater good.
