This week, we welcome Sean Pinegar, another heart transplant survivor whose story is deeply intertwined with the genetic condition LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.
Sean takes us on a heartfelt journey—from the earliest signs that something wasn’t right, through the challenges and uncertainty, and finally to the life-changing gift of a new heart. His path is one of courage, resilience, and hope.
But Sean’s story holds a unique surprise: what became of his old heart. In a way that continues to touch lives, his former heart is now contributing to research and may one day help others facing the same struggles.
This episode is a reminder of the ripple effect of organ donation. Each gift not only saves a life but can also bring knowledge, comfort, and healing to countless others. Sean’s journey highlights the strength of the human spirit and the incredible generosity of donors and their families.
