Help Katherine raise money

For participating in Virtual SCADaddle & Mayo SCAD@Home

My Story…

This cause hits home for me, personally. Please read below: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little known and poorly understood type of a heart attack caused when a sudden tear occurs within the layers of one or more arteries to the heart. This tear blocks blood flow causing a heart attack and sometimes death. SCAD often impacts younger, healthy individuals who do not have the typical risk factors for heart disease. The average age of a SCAD patient is approximately 42 (I was 40) years old and up to 80% of those experiencing SCAD are women. Research so far has shown those who experience a SCAD are typically… Young with an average age of 42; occurring in people as young as early 20’s Healthy typically with no known risk factors or underlying condition Eighty percent more common in women than men – 20% of SCAD cases in women occur near the time of childbirth Any help you can give, even $5 can go a long way. Thanks so much!
