There are ever growing resources on the Internet, including those related to exercise with or without a health challenge, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer or diabetes. It is essential to exercise for better health. I am hoping to use my experience with a life-threatening aortic aneurysm to bring hope to people with health challenges with respect to their future as athletes though the development of an intelligent exercise philosophy. This page provides links to resources that might be of value to such people - don’t give up!

Before my list of useful links, I decided to list other sites with relevant useful links, which may outlink me, but that is fine as long as you find what you need.
