I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives, and honoring my own, which I am so very grateful to have still, thanks to the caring hands of my "Lifesaver", Shannon Vincin-Claunch, and Station 7 of the Georgetown, TX Fire Department.
I never thought stroke was something that could happen to me. Then, when it did, I had no kind of realistic expectations of what would come next. Was I still me? Would anything from my life before ever become normal again? Could I still be a great mom to my daughter, a 5.5 month old at the time?
Thanks to my wonderfully supportive husband and the love from my family and friends, I pulled through. But I know not everyone is as fortunate as I have been.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
