George Murdoch

George Murdoch, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, experienced a severe heart attack before being diagnosed with PAD, following years of smoking and unhealthy eating habits. After undergoing an aortobifemoral bypass, George made significant lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, replacing processed foods with home-cooked meals and healthier choices, drinking more water, and incorporating walking into his daily routine. These changes have helped him develop a healthier outlook on life, and he continues working toward increasing his physical activity. The PAD Facebook support group has provided George with valuable knowledge and inspiration to stay motivated on his journey. His message to others facing similar challenges is simple: “Just one more step.”
