Ed Hearn played in the minor leagues for eight years before making it to the big leagues, and in his first season with the Mets he won the World Series.
A year later, Ed was traded to the Kansas City Royals, expecting to reap the rewards of a lucrative professional contract. Instead, he suffered a serious shoulder injury. He spent the next three years fighting his way back, only to have to walk away from the game he loved. Little did Ed know, the physical obstacles that awaited him were far more devastating than the shoulder that caused his athletic demise.
Less than six months after his baseball career ended, Ed was diagnosed with three potentially life threatening health conditions. Once a strong, vibrant professional athlete, he was reduced to a man who could barely care for himself. Ed hung on, though, and used these physical challenges to make the most incredible come-back of his life. Today, after a life-saving kidney transplant, a successful bout with cancer, the aid of a breathing machine each night, a costly IV treatment once a month, and up to 35 pills per day, Ed has come back to live a life that is truly an inspiration. As an author and speaker, his courage, faith and determination speak volumes as we face life's challenges.
Ed Hearn is entertaining, captivating and motivating, but what makes him truly unique is his genuine desire to empower and uplift those around him. His inspiring, real-life message is sure to have a lasting impact on your audience.
