From 10% Heart Function to 100K Stairs: A Princeton Councillor's Health Journey
Elliott says doctors raised his heart function to 45 per cent as he works full time and shares his progress to encourage others.
- Before the snow sets in, Princeton City Councillor George Elliott plans to climb 100,000 stairs to test his personal limits and inspire healthier lifestyles.
- Diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2020, Elliott was told his heart function was just 10 per cent; doctors called it a death sentence, yet his function has since improved to 45 per cent.
- Working at Save-On-Foods, Elliott lugs 40 to 50 lbs of produce daily while walking up to six kilometres per shift. He has already completed almost 59,000 steps since May toward his 100,000-stair goal.
- Multiple community members have reached out to Elliott, inspired by his health journey. He maintains he does not seek recognition, simply wanting to help others take control of their medical situations.
- Elliott plans to pursue more fitness challenges regardless of whether he reaches the 100,000-stair target. Missing the goal will not dampen his resolve as he adapts to new health hurdles ahead.
