Why I Am doing this! You find out in your mid 40's that you gave a congenital heart defect that wasn't picked up on when you were young, after literally spending every weekend in the ER, every single week for a month from your heart running so fast it feels like it is going to pop out of your chest! This is my story... ! Became a permanent fixture at the local ER in N. GA. They would totally bypass the Er and take me back to find out that I was literally in tachycardia! My heart was running its own marathon for no rhyme or reason! When you hear the words, We're losing her....get the crash cart and you remember the faint moment where everything feels motionless and yet you are seeing the brightest lights ever shining around you as your last thoughts are .... - Lord if this is your will...please take care of my family just before you go out!!!! They attempted medication, cardioversion and lastly stopping my heart to get it back into rhythm. I am considered an SVT patient with episodes of not only tachycardia but now bradycardi as well.
I Have seen the importance not only with myself but also with my husband 5x survivor from major heart attacks and the damage left afterwards! We both are so very grateful and will do what needs to done to continue to try and raise awareness for others! This is a disease that affects every age, gender, race. It isn't biased!
Come help with this great cause!
You will know at least one person if not more that this is currently or has affected in your lifetime! Please if you can't walk that is ok, but take the time to help raise funds for awareness and research!
Thank you
