A grieving father rode his bicycle 1,400 miles just to hear his deceased daughter's heartbeat one last time. In 2017, 20-year-old Abbey Conner passed away, and her organs were donated to save multiple lives. Her heart was given to 21-year-old Loumonth Jack Jr., who had been given only ten days to live before the transplant. To honor her memory, her father Bill Conner embarked on a long-distance bike ride to raise awareness for organ donation. On Father's Day, the two men met in person for the very first time. After a long embrace, Jack handed Bill a stethoscope so he could listen to Abbey's heart beating inside his chest.
