Recently in the new I found an article regarding a disease. On Friday March 7th a High School Senior, Ryan Fischer of Grandville High School died suddenly in his sleep. The disease Ryan had was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is an enlarged heart. We haven't tal;ked about this condition in Epidemic Disease but I felt that this was a good article to do with dieases recently. This shows the awareness of his sudden death. Fischer was a devoted athelete as co-captain of Grandville High School's Hockey Team, Captain of the Football Team, and member of the student athelete council. Fischer died in his sleep and was found unresponsive the next morning, Dr. David Start conducted an autopsy and it was found that he suffered an enlarged heart attack. The reason I am writing my blog post on this is because it raises awareness for the disease and the Fischer family.

My Response about this article when I first read it was very sad. It was heart-warming. The team was scheduled to play a semi-final tournament game, but they still played it even though they lost the most looked up to and most prized teammate that morning. In the article it said he was a leader, and hero who wanted to serve the country more than anything. One of his best friends Brendan said "I want my kids to be exactly like you. I just wish they could have met you so I could introduce them to a hero,". This article especially that part was very touching. From now on everyone should live life to the fullest, be kind, and say hi to people even if you don't know them. By reading this heart-warming story of Ryan Fischer being a hero people should be living their life with passion, love, and compassion because you never know when the time will come.
