Mike Cohen - Long Distance Cyclist, Cancer Survivor and Heart Transplant Recipient

At age 18, Mike Cohen was diagnosed with an aggressive form of
Leukaemia. A few years later, Mike won his battle with cancer,
however as a result of all the radiation and chemotherapy
treatments, his heart was damaged. In his early 30’s he suffered
from a heart attack. Mike needed a heart transplant. On February
21, 2018, 32 year old James Mazzuchelli, a Navy flight surgeon, was
killed in a helicopter training accident. Because of James’s
selfless decision to donate his organs, he saved Mike’s life. The
very next year, Mike cycled 1426 miles from San Diego, California
to Jackson, Florida to meet James’s family. This is an absolutely
amazing story, and we’re so grateful to Mike for sharing it with
us.
