Twenty three years ago, 09-06-2001, my father-in-law passed away suddenly of a heart attack. Elwood Adams, He was 54.On 02-23-2010, my mother passed suddenly of a ruptured Aortic Aneurysm after a few weeks of flu like symptoms.Alice McClellan, She was 60.At the time, I thought how terrible that our children will never really know their grandfather and grandmother.But then, in 2019, it got a whole bunch closer. A virus attacked the heart of the love of my life. I was terrified that our children were losing their father. I was losing my soulmate. It took 4.5 months and a few different doctors (who confirmed just how close we were to that) but with lots of meds, countless appointments, and a few years laterhe is on the better side of it!In January 2024, my dad had a heart attack. He acted quickly, was able to get it fixed, and sent home in a day. And just last month, my mother-in-law had a successful valve replacement.I am sure you can relate to one, if not all of these experiences. Please take a moment to consider helping me raise funds for the 2024 Heart walk. Donating can help save lives of patients with various heart conditions and supports patients and families with education.
