Former Bedford Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corp Member and ground zero rescue worker from the world trade center EMT, Philip Kirschner has been diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition, unless it’s properly treated at a specialty heart center at the Cleveland Clinic, the condition can be fatal. His defect is congenital that has been exhasterbated by 911. The condition is called Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardio Myopathy. Often, this disease will kill young athletes playing in competitive sports.
Mercy Jets has set up a special website through Facebook to raise funds to help this ground zero hero get to his treatment. The URL is: http://www.facebook.com/MercyJets?sk=app_4949752878, and will help him with his expenses.
