Today was the day of the BIG Go Red For Women Connection Event.. this is me (with very little sleep) about to head to the event
My coworkers - Laura, Paige, Aaron & Jamie
They were handling registration
This little person is Kalee Dionne - she is actually the morning Meteorologist on CBS 42
Kalee is an amazing volunteer for us!

This woman shared her story with us - She Goes Red for her granddaughter (who has already had 2 open heart surgeries.)
PJ is one of my volunteer spokespeople and survivor. (Her story is in the video below)
This lady drove all of the way from Jackson Mississippi to share her story. Her husband dropped dead from a heart attack at 46.. she has 4 daughter and does not want them to ever have to suffer.
This woman was 25 when she had a double bypass/heart attack. 15 years later - she sits right here, hoping to be selected as one of our national spokespeople.
CBS 42 came out to cover some of the stories

Laura, me and Jamie - taking a moment to BREATHE.
Laura is going to have a baby - this is Veda Jane (waiting to be born!) Laura goes red for her!
The one in the chair is my intern. She stopped by with some of her friends.
Just us - relaxing..
Later - I popped over to the Party Hearty - a Zumba charity event to benefit Go Red For Women. It was put together by my Zumba friends/instructors.
PJ and her husband joined in on the fun!
ZUMBA!
