Sometimes life is not only unfair, it's
downright cruel and mean-spirited. How else can one explain the life
of a 20 year old who has a bright future as a soccer star who is
struck down with a heart virus that so destroys heart tissue that he
must have a heart transplant or die? This was Simon Keith's life.
He was well on his way to a professional career in soccer, and all of
a sudden, it was all taken from him.
But Simon's story is not the standard
tale of the heart transplant patient who gets a new heart and then
lives a few more years than the average, living cautiously and in the
shadows.
