We're a relentless force! Now imagine how much stronger we'll be working as a team!
in December of 2012 I was swimming my regular lap workout in the pool and had trouble breathing. That led me to discovering that I had Congestive Heart Failure and I was hospitalized with an ejection fraction of only 18%. A typical heart ejection fraction is 50% and anything under 40% is considered heart failure. From that point on my life changed forever. For a period of time I had to wear an external defibrillator vest 24 hours a day just in case my heart stopped, until 6 months later when I received a subcutaneous defibrillator implant that monitors my heart everyday and serves as my permanent safety net in case my heart ever stops. My amazing cardiologist team, the caring professionals at my heart rehab facility, and the work of organizations such as the American Heart Association have contributed so much to my health and the health of millions suffering from heart disease.
The road has been tough, but it's been my journey. And in true Rolland fashion the journey is unpredictable but ALWAYS FUN! I
never would have imagined that I would connect with so many people on TikTok and social media, and welcome in all of my wonderful Disney loving friends to join the team, spread awareness for the American Heart Association and have so much fun together living it up everyday! THANK YOU for your support and cheers to another fun adventure on this journey of life!!
