Doug never knew that he was among an estimated 6 million Americans (up to two per cent of the population) born with bicuspid aortic valve disease. Doug’s death last September, the untimely death of John Ritter in September 2003, and the continuing lack of general awareness have inspired the Bicuspid Aortic Foundation to designate September as Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection Awareness Month. The theme for 2005 is “Share Your Life to Save a Life”. This September, along with other families, the Grieshop’s are sharing their story. They know this is what Doug would want them to do.
