Six Hours: Running For My Life in the Grand Canyon tells the true story of one man's attempt to defy the odds and run the Grand Canyon as a 64-year-old cardiac patient with multiple stents in his "widow-maker" aorta. It's 17 treacherous miles to the bottom and back up to the South Rim. Ultimately, the high-risk run becomes more than an athletic endeavor, as it compels him to reflect on his life, his mortality, and his legacy.
Autoren-Porträt von Rick Mater
Author biographyRick Mater is a longtime runner and Emmy-nominated TV executive living in Los Angeles. He was a miler in high school, lettered in college, and has run the Grand Canyon twice as a cardiac patient. A heart attack survivor, he has four stents in his left anterior descending aorta and a defibrillator implanted in the side of his chest. Distance running saved Mater's life. During a 2007 run, he was able to survive a heart attack brought on by a complete occlusion of the LAD (left anterior descending aorta). His survival was due to ancillary blood vessels created by his body in response to the rigors of distance running. This permitted enough blood to circulate around the blockage and prevent a massive fatal heart attack. Mater lives in Los Angeles and continues to run.
