Jim Harshaw Jr interviews cancer survivor, heart transplant recipient, and Ironman Derek Fitzgerald

Derek Fitzgerald is a survivor of cancer, heart failure and ultimately a heart transplant. After receiving his life-saving transplant in 2011, Derek entered the world of endurance sports and became dedicated to helping others going through their own healthcare journeys.

Since 2011, Derek has upheld his life’s mission to honor his donor’s gift. He has completed over 90 endurance events, including a coast-to-coast bike ride and multiple IRONMAN races, including the prestigious World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
He is the only cancer survivor and heart transplant recipient to ever complete a full IRONMAN distance race.
