Couple gives back after heart transplant journey
Christian runs the Boston Marathon to honor his wife’s decade-long survival post-heart transplant and to raise funds for Tufts Medical Center, her treating hospital.
- This year's Boston Marathon will feature Christian running to honor his wife, as Dr. DeNofrio said, 'To watch somebody who's a college student facing adversity...'.
- Doctors say a virus attacked her heart, and 'I was in college and was feeling some symptoms. I wasn't really sure what was going on,' said Shalah Jeeves.
- Dr. David DeNofrio called Jeeves' progress 'incredible' after her transplant, highlighting her milestones two years later when she welcomed twins with her husband by her side.
- Christian will use the race to raise funds for Tufts, the hospital that saw Shalah through her most challenging period, as he runs this year's Boston Marathon.
- Motivated by gratitude, Christian picked this year to run the Boston Marathon for his wife, who had a 10-year transplant anniversary. Christian, husband, said running had long been on his bucket list.
