Go Red Heart Survivor 

Debra Koziol
“I am a survivor of sudden cardiac arrest and have had open heart surgery and a defibrillator implanted. Knowing our bodies and reacting to changes because we have been educated and are aware of warning signs will allow us to call ourselves, our mothers, daughters, wives and friends ‘survivors’ instead of ‘victims’.  Don’t wait for tomorrow to start living healthy!”
