mshepp's profile Merv Sheppard / Member since July 2007 / Last seen 8 days ago
Retired after 25 years as a Drug Rep and Continuing Medical Education Associate with Wyeth. I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in October of 1999 and was in end-stage respiratory failure when I received the "Gift of Life" of a single-lung transplant in April of 2002. I will be forever grateful for my second chance at life and am now an advocate for Organ Donation Awareness and fundraising for Transplant Research.
