Patient runs 5k three months after double lung transplant

IU Health Methodist Hospital

Four participants pose together at a community 5K on a downtown street.

In the summer of 2022, three months after Hal Miller received a lung transplant, one of his sons issued him a challenge to run a 5k. "He said he'd walk it with me so I said, alright. My goal was to get under 60 minutes so I come around the corner and they... had this timer and I looked up at it and it said 59 minutes and 11 seconds. That's when I started to jog."
