On January 27th, 2023 my grandmother had to be rushed into surgery for an emergency bypass operation. A few days before she had stated that she was having some issues but never did we think it was that serious. My grandmother experienced a cardiac event which required immediate action. This mother of 2, grandmother of 5, and great-grandmother to 8- can stand before today and proudly proclaim that she IS A SURVIVOR! My grandmother is the reason I am walking this year, in support of the 2023 Triad Heart Walk and will walk in her honor.
