Jack S’s Reviews > Heart of Iron: My Journey from Transplant Patient to Ironman Triathlete > Status Update

Kyle Garlett, the main character, is a static character, which is not necessarily a bad thing for him. The whole time, he was very strong throughout the chemotherapy, his heart transplant, the Ironman and all of the other tough things he went through throughout his life. He is always motivated to get through all of the tough things in his life and come out the other side of it stronger mentally and physically.

Why does the author keep bring up where the parents or Kyle are living currently? Is it becasue there is going to be an incident where it is fatal when his parents are all the way across the Untied States or even world? How much of an impact will they have on Kyle's cancer and all he is going through? Will they end up being a few blocks away when death shows its shadow? Will something bad happen to them needing Kyle?

The protaginists of this book would be the main character. The main character is Kyle Garrett, who is also the author. He got diagnosed with the "type of cancer you would want," even though you don't want cancer in the first place. He went through chemotherapy and kept fighting until it was gone, just to realize that it came back and that he had to go to a different doctor and have all of the painful things again.
