Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Athlete's heart. A swelling of the muscle in the septum of the heart, making it weak and able to hold less blood than normal, keeping blood from reaching the extremities such as the arms, the legs, and the head. HTC can lead to dizzy spells, labored breathing, and even death. It was the last thing that a kid graduating from high school could keep in track. Sam had known about his condition from a young age. He knew that it was curable, that he would never be able to afford treatment on his own. He had no family, and with it, no insurance. He needed a way into the loop, for he could not spend his hectic life sitting on the sidelines. Who would have known that his true savior would come to him in the form of a stubborn teenage girl: a girl in desperate need of his help.
