Fred Nelis is all heart, even though his heart didn’t originally belong to him.
He’s a local transplant patient who is defying the odds, swimming his way to success.
If the name Fred Nelis sounds familiar, it should. He gained national attention when he and a friend both received the gift of life from the same organ donor. Now, Fred is practicing hard for the Transplant Games of America to be held this weekend in Cleveland.
