As a teen, Mike Papale had one dream: to play college basketball.
He was laser-focused-training like an Olympic hopeful to make his dream reality.
Out of nowhere, his world changed.
August 24, 2006, while coaching a summer camp basketball game, he slumped over, unresponsive, turning blue within minutes.
He was 17, and had gone into cardiac arrest.
With no AED on site, he was given a one in a million chance to survive.
He was soon diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which, left undiagnosed and untreated, can lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
At the time, he was crushed-processing the life-altering news he would never be able to play competitive basketball again.
He quickly realized he was fortunate to be alive, and redefined his life's purpose.
A Big Heart brings the reader on Mike's story of reinvention, hope, and survival.
It is guaranteed to inspire readers to battle adversity and attack their dreams!.
