StoryCorps Detroit Podcast: Not Ready to Die
Roy Sims used his near-death experience to start his non-profit, Art for Hearts.
Detroiter Roy Sims was diagnosed with a serious heart condition that doctors told him would be his demise.
“It got to the point where I was placed under hospice care. That itself is quite difficult, because the idea there is to accept death, your imminent death.” recalls Roy.
In this StoryCorps Detroit episode, Sims sits down with his wife Angela and discusses his battle with heart disease and how it inspired him to start his non-profit, Arts for Hearts, in Detroit.
