Denver, CO, April 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In this true story of survival and perseverance, author Gavin Maitland recounts his extraordinary life experience of being in top form, nearly losing his life to lung failure, and going through transplant surgery. When he was in his mid-thirties, Maitland, an avid swimmer and marathon runner, developed a progressive and debilitating lung disease that left him scarcely able to breathe. Doctors gave him six months to live. In March of 2008, Maitland received a double lung transplant at the Duke University Medical Center. Maitland not only recovered from his transplant surgery, he participated in a triathlon just 13 months later.

In Breathe and Let Go: A Lung Transplant Adventure, published by Dog Ear Publishing, Maitland touches on the many obstacles he encountered, such as identifying and diagnosing the cause of his deteriorating health, the hard realization that he needed a double lung transplant if he wanted to live, the challenges of being accepted as a transplant candidate and the daily tasks he must complete after transplant surgery to stay healthy. Filled with drama, down-to-earth humor and honesty, readers in all walks of life will be inspired by his story of courage and determination.
