Art, a former NFL and UK football player, is still trying to raise awareness of uncommon heart illness.

Art, a former NFL and UK football player, has dedicated a significant part of his life to raising awareness about an uncommon heart illness that has profoundly affected his own health and the lives of those around him. Despite his successful career in both American and UK football, Art’s post-retirement journey has been far from conventional, as he has taken on the crucial role of educating others about the dangers of heart conditions that often go undiagnosed or unrecognized. His mission has grown out of his personal experience with a rare heart illness that could have ended his athletic career and even his life if not caught in time.

Born with a deep love for football, Art’s career saw him play at the highest levels in two different countries, initially making a name for himself in the NFL before continuing his professional career in the UK. On the surface, his athleticism and robust physical condition were typical of the kind of players that dominate the football field. However, behind his impressive performance, Art was silently dealing with a heart condition that would eventually change his life forever.
