Listen to Dani, the queen of Make It Count.

"I continue to reach for a better, healthier life by making each day count. Every day starts with a workout to get my body moving and release the pain that usually settles into my body during the night. With a daily workout, a healthy diet, and a combination of western and homeopathic medicine, I have learned to maintain a harmonious balance within my body that was once tumultuous. In addition, RA has taught me to find other loves in my life besides softball, one of them being racing competitively whether it is a triathlon, a cycling event, or a marathon. I have completed close to 50 races in all at this point in my life and have even taken 1st place!"

"Whatever the motivation, whatever the desire, RA is merely a piece of who I really am, and I've had to take a long journey to learn that. I do not let this disease define me; I define who I am and what I will do to make my mark upon this world!"

"I hope that you will find this very intimate account of only a mere portion of my life as a motivational tool. I once lived a different life, but now I am committed to "Make it Count." I hope you, too, will do just that."

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
