"Her Heart"


When Charles Tillman was asked to speak to some members of the United States Congress about the Berlin Heart, the Bears cornerback didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. A year ago, the revolutionary device kept his infant daughter, Tiana, alive while she awaited a heart transplant that saved her life.



Tillman traveled today to Washington, where he’ll speak at a luncheon in a congressional meeting room at the U.S. Capitol Visitor’s Center. The event will highlight medical technologies that are helping to lower health care costs and improve the quality of life for patients with cardiovascular disease.

This is a great story!  It doesn't even matter that you loss by 30 points to the Bengals or that you got beat for two touchdowns by Chad Ochocino.  In fact, it shouldn't matter at all when it comes to life.
