Help Karen raise money

For participating in Michigan SCADaddle for Research

My Story…

July 26, 2018 changed my life forever. It was literally 4 years after my first heart attack at age 41. "It's SCAD. Your artery tore and that is what caused the heart attack.SCAD also caused your first one.” The Repeat worst day. Crushing chest pain, sweating , left arm pain and short of breath. My family was equally as traumatized as they feared the worst. I was back in an ambulance , then the cath lab. So many puzzled faces as to why i was having a heart attack..again. I feared that I would not make it. I begged for them to save me. It didn't take long for me to realize that not many knew about SCAD, including cardiolgists and nurses. I have been on a mission ever since. I need to help spread much needed awareness and raise money for research for this heart condition. My mission became a reality and I'm SO happy to announce the 1st Michigan SCADaddle for Research! Please join me and my team as we continue on this Crusade! "Karen's Crusaders" hope to see you there!
