My Story…
I almost lost my good friend Megan O'Keefe (aka My Wifeypoo) to this type of heart attack. SCAD or Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection, carries no risk factors and can cause sudden death. Megan is in her 40's, in good health and was actually on her way to the gym to work out when she had her heart attack. I walk with her and for her. Help me reach my fundraising goal of $1000 so we can help SCADdaddle the lack of awareness and misinformation around these types of heart attacks.
Please join us by sponsoring our 5K run/walk to raise money for research on an uncommon and poorly understood type of a heart attack caused by Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection(SCAD). SCAD often impacts younger, healthy individuals who do not have the typical risk factors for heart disease. SCAD occurs without warning when a split or separation develops between the layers of the wall of one of the arteries that provides blood flow to the heart.Research is needed to determine the cause(s) and best treatment options.
Donate to help Amy raise money for Minnesota 5K SCADaddle for Research’s fundraising campaign.
