Update on Ethan's Heart Transplant

Back in November the automotive community rallied behind one of our own, Ethan who was going through a challenge, much more intense than any race or struggle most of us have ever known. Seventeen year old longtime friend of the shop, employee, and YouTuber, Ethan recieved a heart transplant right before Thanksgiving 2020. A heart transplant is no small feat but Ethan had many complications and has had to fight through so much to get to where he is today. Ethan is still recovering at the ICU in the hospital in NYC with his mother, and is still has much to overcome to get back to his full capacity but he has come so far and oversome so many challenges with his unmatched perserverance, drive and focus on “kicking ass”. We are so in awe and inspired by Ethan, who had his breathing tube removed earlier this week.

Today 2/4/21 is Ethan’s 18th birthday. We would like to share Ethan’s story to help inspire others and share love with Ethan and his family on this day. Ethan’s mother, Patti has been by his side and documenting their journey in her blog Ethan’s Journey. This blog is an inside look at what Ethan and his family has gone through, it is so honest and heartfelt. Feel free to follow along with Ethan’s journey on the blog and if you are able donate to his Go Fund Me Page. We would love to flood Ethan with love and support on his big day!
