Episode 20: The Rhythm of Resilience: Vince Londini’s Story

In this episode, Ann-Marie welcomes Vince Londini – a heart patient, advocate, and dedicated patient partner – to discuss his lived experience with cardiovascular disease.

Vince’s story is one of perseverance and perspective. He talks candidly about the fear and uncertainty of heart disease, the importance of peer support, and the power of continuing to live your life fully, even when things feel out of control. Alongside medical treatment, Vince found immense support in his community through volunteering and by staying engaged with his work and family life.

His message is grounded and encouraging: you can have a heart condition and still build a life full of meaning, impact, and connection. This conversation is a reminder that a heart condition is only one part of a person’s story—and that it’s possible to face it with honesty, resilience, and hope.
