Two men.
But you will also encounter hope, faith, perseverance, and healing as Fred and Gordon walk the transplant tightrope with Friends and family alongside them..
In these pages you\'ll encounter fear, hardship, and many obstacles that were hard to surmount.
Remarkably, the men would end up at the same hospital at the same time receiving a heart and a pair of lungs From the same donor, linking them for the rest of their Lives in ways most of us couldn\'t understand.
Dubbed the Transplant Brothers by the media, Fred and Gordon were already casual Friends when they found themselves waiting for the news that the organs they needed to survive had become available.
Yet, they would come to share the rarest of bonds when each received a second chance at life and vitality because of one generous Organ donor.
The other man an impulsive and colorful serial monogamist and atheist.
One a steady, disciplined, reserved Catholic business leader and family man.
Other than their shared affinity for the water, you couldn\'t invent two men who were more different than swimmer Fred Nelis and sailor Gordon Veldman.
And one last chance to live life to the fullest.
One donor.
Two men
