Former professional basketball player and 'Survivor' contestant Scot Pollard recently received life-changing news: a heart donor had been found for him. With a genetic condition that had put his health at risk, the need for a heart transplant was critical for the 49-year-old sports figure.
His journey to finding a donor was not without challenges, as Pollard's towering 6-foot-11 frame and weight of 260 pounds made it more difficult to locate a matching heart. Admitted to intensive care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Pollard was determined to wait for the right match to give him a second chance at life.
