On June 29th 2023, I puzzled myself as to why I was experiencing an unsettling pressure in my chest combined with pain in my shoulder. Confused by my muffled inquisitions, in that moment, good old Google woke me up.
Every other sentence, after typing symptoms kept leading to the episode of a HEART ATTACK, which pierced me in disbelief.
June 30, 2023, my Cardiologist suggested a Cardio Cath along with a full work up to get a better understanding and to solidify a diagnosis. SCAD at age 36, the medical term I wasn't cognizant of until that day was now my new reality.
By implementing preventative measures and becoming more au fait with my heart health, I'm encouraged to raise awareness to a broader scope of SCAD (primarily diagnosed in women).
I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist. This is the reason as to why I named my team PULSE OF RESILIENCE!!!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
