PULL FOR PATRICK!

Hello All,

Patrick Anderson is one of the most impressive guys I have EVER met.  He is a former teammate of mine at Clemson University and a friend of mine for life.  Patrick is the most impressive endurance athlete I have ever seen.  He was quite the accomplished collegiate  rower and turned that into endless success in the world of distance running and triathlons.  He has won countless accolades on the collegiate rowing scene, marathon circuit, and as an Ironman'r.  You would never know his many successes though because he is the most humble guy you will ever meet.  

Unfortunately, last week Patrick went into cardiac arrest and is currently in a coma in a North Carolina hospital.  It's crazy to think that the fittest guy I know, at age 29, had this happen.  However, I can't think of a better fighter to take this challenge on.  I have no doubt my man will bounce back as strong as ever.  

 THE LINK BELOW WILL TAKE YOU TO THE FUNDRAISING PAGE SET UP TO HELP OFFSET PATRICK'S MOUNTING MEDICAL EXPENSES.  PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
