THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, December 29, 2011 All Invited To Celebrate


John Ganong’s Anniversary Heart transplant recipient marks first year of his new life


Come one, come all to


the Celebrity Bartender Benefit being held at the Lobster Pound in Weirs Beach, NH on Saturday, January 7th at 7pm. The celebrity bartend-


er will be John Ganong who will be celebrating the first year of his new life and would like you to join him. It all started on March


18th, 2003 when con- gestive heart failure hit John and open heart surgery was performed at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester. It consisted of two valve replacements and re- pair of an aneurism on the aorta. A few days later, the


hospital instal led a pacemaker to adjust the actual heartbeat. The next-six-and-a-


half years went by pretty smoothly until the left side of John’s heart got so weak it pretty much collapsed. This was in December of 2009. John went to Catholic Medical Center again where they shipped him by ambulance to Tuft’s Medical Center in Bos- ton. They installed a heart pump to the left side of his heart which was run by batteries and a computer, all on a vest which he wore 24/7. The same pump, the Heart Mate,is be- ing used by former Vice- President, Dick Cheney. At this point, John got


on the list for a trans- plant. On January 3, 2011,


John got the phone call about his transplant at


7pm. He got in his car, with his wife Brenda to drive down to Tufts, calling family on the way to tell them the news. The transplant was a success and today John says he feels better and better. The donations John


collects as celebrity bar- tender at The Lobster Pound will all go to the Cardiac Transplant Di- vision at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. John would like to


say Thank You to all his friends, family, doctors and nurses who have supported and helped him over the past nine years and he invites all to this joyous occasion in helping celebrate the first year of his new life.


John Ganong, heart transplant recipient, will be the celebrity bartender at The Lobster Pound in Weirs Beach on Saturday, January 7th, starting at 7pm. All proceeds will benefit the Tufts Medical Center Cardiac Transplant Division. All are invited.
