On May 21, 2022, my uncle and I were walking at our favorite place, Waveny Park. Shortly after our walk, I rushed my uncle to the emergency room at Norwalk Hospital. He suffered a major heart attack. The ED medical staff saved my uncle's life that day. Following his heart attack, my uncle made many lifestyle changes including exercising and improving his diet. After completing his cardiac rehabilitation program, he decided to continue to be a member at the Chuck and Terry Tanner Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at Norwalk Hospital. I admire my uncle's dedication and devotion to living a heart healthy life. This year, my uncle and I will be participating in the 2023 Fairfield County Heart Walk and 5k Race.
