Robert F. Epps, a retired Coast Guard Senior Chief residing in Virginia, became aware of his existing heart murmur when he enlisted. What was repeatedly diagnosed as a minor, benign ailment became a serious dilemma likely to turn into a life-threatening aortic aneurysm. The experience, requiring three surgeries to reconstruct his diseased aorta, served as the catalyst for Epps to establish the National Organization for Aneurysm Hope (N.O.A.H.), an organization dedicated to raising aneurysm awareness and providing hope for those affected.
