Pete Radigan

Pete was born in Staten Island, NY, but spent most of his life living in East Windsor, NJ. He is a currently an active resident in his hometown of Freehold, NJ. Pete graduated high school from Hightstown High School and completed his undergraduate work at Wagner College. One year after Pete€s heart transplant he received his Master of Arts in Administration and Supervision with a concentration on Educational Training. Pete comes from a very active, athletic close family. In his senior year of college he was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy that enlarged his heart. Pete went on for almost 9 years until January 1996 when he went into full-blown heart failure. He spent 2 years on the waiting list before he received the gift of life from a young man in Buffalo, NY when he received his heart transplant on August 5, 1997. This gift was seconded only to the meeting of his donor family exactly 1.5 years after his transplant.
