WBOC’s Chris Weimer sat down and talked to Jimmy Hoppa after Jimmy gave us the news of his upcoming open heart surgery.

Jimmy’s surgery is set for Sept. 1. Doctors have been keeping their eye on Jimmy’s heart for several years and because of an aneurysm, they are taking a piece of his aorta out and replacing a valve during the operation. Jimmy says he isn’t afraid of this surgery and that he is ‘one of God’s kids so it’s all going to be okay.’
