Today we have a survivor story from our friends at Aortic Hope of Bruce O'Roak.

💥We are very excited to introduce you to Bruce O’Roak. Bruce shares in great detail his experience of his aortic dissection which occurred just nine months ago.

Inspired by other survivor stories, he tells this story with hope to help others.
