The heart transplant journey can be challenging. Imagine being told your heart is failing and you have to wait on a list until the perfect match sent to save your life, loses theirs. All wait times vary. But it's not that simple; not just a matter of life and death. Now imagine being told you cannot leave the hospital until your match is found. In Matters of the Heart, author Nicol McClendon shares Dennis Thomas' experience of waiting for a new heart while confined to the hospital. This is the story of a man encouraging other transplant recipients while finding the strength to fight for his own existence.

Autorenporträt

Dennis Thomas is a sports enthusiast, basketball coach and former basketball player known for having a mean "pick". Dennis describes himself as a motivator. He was a preschool teacher for twelve years and during this time, his love for mentoring and nurturing children continued to grow. In 2009, Dennis became a heart transplant recipient. Today Dennis is celebrating ten years being a survivor. He continues to mentor children in the community, on and off the court, via his work with Legacy Foundation of Hartford, Impact Training and Bulkeley High School. Dennis visits Hartford Hospital often, counseling adults preparing for and recovering from organ transplants. He is also the "go-to" person many in the community call to counsel, support and encourage their loved ones through their own heart failure diagnosis and transplant journey. In January 2019, Dennis was diagnosed with stage 3-colon cancer and is currently in remission. You can connect with Dennis at [e-mail]
