Patriots tight end and party boy Rob Gronkowski put his big heart on display in a special hospital call yesterday, surprising Lauren Meizo, a Pats fan who’s awaiting multiple organ transplants.
“It was incredible. He was so down to earth!” Meizo told the Track. “My nerves were gone once we started talking. It was a dream come true.”
The Chicopee native first expressed her wish for Gronk to pay a visit in a YouTube video that she made March 25. Meizo explained that she’s been living at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for the past three months as she waits for her turn to get a new heart — the second one in five years — after the first transplant she received in 2013 failed.
