Hiker with Defibrillator

Deirdre Fleming writes in her article "Extra socks? Check. Defibrillator? Check" in the 22 April 2007 Portland Press Herald about hiker Dan Feldman from Bowdoin, ME.

Feldman hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2002. No problem. Then a year ago he was diagnosed with "hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, commonly known as 'athlete's heart'." But he hadn't hiked the Triple Crown yet. So he got a defibrillator installed.

Interesting article about dedication to hiking.
