Andrew Jones, the Invincible: the man who trained with his heart in a backpack.Some lives seem written to inspire movies, and Andrew Jones’s is one of them. His story is of a man who refused to give up, even when his own heart stopped beating. Before the tragedy, Andrew was a fitness model and bodybuilder. He lived in the gym, utterly devoted to his body and his health. But in 2012, something changed: he began having trouble breathing when running. Two years later, he coughed up blood and suffered from a constant fever. The diagnosis was devastating: cardiomyopathy, a hereditary disease that affects heart function. He spent months in the hospital, so weak that he couldn’t even walk. The doctors were clear: he needed a heart transplant. While waiting on an endless list, Andrew received an artificial device connected to a backpack: his new mechanical “heart,” tasked with keeping him alive. That device pumped his blood, replacing the organ that had abandoned him.
