Svend - Get well soon!

[Garrick Daft]

Randy Strossen's Ironmind news reported that Svend's kidneys have failed and he is awaiting transplants.

Just wanted to say to Svend, I pray for you and hope you get well soon Viking! You will always be my favorite strongman and the reason I started following this sport!! You have inspired many!

Holy crap!!!! Poor guy, is there any way we can get tested to see if we're a match?

[Matthew White]

Seriously, that's horrible news. My prayers are with him.

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

Good news, looks like his wife Lene' is a match, he'll be having a transplant early next year.

Get well soon Svend!

[Matt Brouse]

Very sad to hear this, I sincerly hope he pulls through strong. I'm he will.

[Steve Krivoshik]

This is really bad to hear, my grandfather was on dialysis all of last year before he passed and it's something I would not wish on anyone. Best of luck to him and I'm sure he'll pull through strong.

[IdrisH.]

Man, this is shocking news. Hope he is able to get through this well.

[Kalle Beck]

Get well Svend! Hope you have a safe transplant and a good recovery!

[Tony Christopher]

Not much else to say except to add my best wishes to those expressed by others.

[Kevin Klavetter]

That is so sad. Get well soon Svend. The sport needs your personality.

Svend- you have "inspirated and motivated" many or all of us to suceed and exceed in many aspects of our lives. Hopefully, we, in turn can give you the power you need to make it through these trying times. Remember, in each man's life he is thrown many obstacles. Some see them as unsurmountable; the mighty view them as challenges. The Viking doesn't notice them at all.
