After learning that extensive sitting could contribute to clotting, the first thing he did was tell his friends and community, urging them to get up, walk, and stretch often. He wanted to share and protect by example. You probably remember his diligent “get up” breaks on stream.

He used his experience to help others, he led by example in taking care of himself, and he spoke very often about how grateful he was for his life and the wonderful things in it. It’s unbelievably unfair that he’s gone. But he made each day of his 6 year “second chance” count.

In the end it wasn’t about sitting or anything he could have done to prevent it, and everything I say feels stupidly inadequate to make any sense of that. The fact that he did everything right and then we blinked and he was gone is just inconceivable.

I just remember how much he hoped that his experience helped others, so I thought maybe he’d want you all to have the reminder to be thankful and take care of yourself. I’m going to try to be humbly grateful as he was, and to get up and think of him often. Maybe you will too.

My father had a clot in his leg that spread to his lung, 6 months ago. Reading this has stunned me a bit, I never realised it could be this serious. He got to leave the hospital after 2 days and is doing ok, but now im going to worry about a relapse.

Earlier this year I had a blood clot in my leg. Doctor said it usually hits people that fly alot. So now I use compression socks for longer flights to avoid more blood clots in the future. Walk, stretch and maintain good vitamin levels is key

My father, a physician, has me taking baby aspirin for the 2 days before flying.
