A literally heartfelt reminder.

This past Monday, Australian champion triathlete Dean Mercer died at just 47 of a heart attack while driving. Now, I don't follow sport (besides the NRL), but this tragedy hit home for me more than you may think, because I have a mild heart defect (don't worry; it's not currently serious). But Mercer's passing shows if such ailments can afflict even professional, successful athletes, none of us are immune to them. Do not be complacent. Research the warning signs, and if you feel even just a few of them, please seek medical consultation immediately. It could make significant difference. RIP Mr. Mercer.
