Our guests are sisters Bethany and Hannah Keime, who have a condition called Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disease of the heart muscle where the muscle wall of the heart becomes thickened. Bethany and Hannah received a diagnosis in high school and have had to make significant changes to their lives and sporting passions. They have both been fitted with an implantable defibrillator, which saved Hannah's life when she fell into cardiac arrest while asleep in bed. Together Bethany and Hannah have created a support charity called HEARTCHARGED to build a community for other young people with the same condition and needing a shoulder to lean on. They are committed to educating and raising the profile of this chronic illness and the importance of AEDs (defibrillators). If you liked this podcast please leave a review, subscribe and share.
