Dar James Romero

“Having Congestive Heart Failure is something that I battle each and every day.  It’s a fight for my life.  The hard part is knowing you’ll never get a break.  The fight continues round after round, there’s no chance of me winning the fight.  I just continue to push and try to make it one more round.”

-Dar James Romero
