Heart-Lung Transplant Recipient, 4-Time Marathon Runner, Mark Black.

Mark Black is also a sough-after International Keynote Speaker, Author, and Coach.

Mark’s life story is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. Born with a life-threatening heart condition, he defied the odds by undergoing two open-heart surgeries before his first birthday. His journey took another dramatic turn when, after a year-long wait on the transplant list, he successfully received a heart and double-lung transplant that granted him a new lease on life.

Not content to simply survive, Mark went on to accomplish extraordinary feats. He achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first person in history to run a marathon with someone else’s heart and lungs, an accomplishment he repeated three more times.

Through his compelling story and inspirational teachings, Mark encourages others to embrace life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Mark shared about:

• His heart-stopping journey, one that began on the day of his birth when he underwent a critical heart operation.
• Despite the obstacles that came his way, he never allowed his medications and health struggles to define his life.
• A reminder that the human will, combined with resilience and courage, knows no bounds.
