Brothers working hard for stronger hearts

"Lifestyle changes are never easy to make. They take discipline, dedication and a fierce desire to succeed. But sometimes a life-threatening event can be the catalyst to a successful lifestyle change. That was the case with Chris and John Murray of Neptune, New Jersey, who overcame serious heart problems, lost a combined 170 pounds and won the 2008 American Heart Association Lifestyle Change Award. The brothers underwent angioplasty and stent procedures last year at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. They then dedicated themselves to healthier lifestyles. They changed their diet, modified their cholesterol medication and stayed true to their cardiac rehabilitation programs" - Asbury Park Press
