I was selected by Medtronic Corporation to run the Medtronic 10-mile race in Minneapolis in October, 2016. They selected 25 athletes from around the world to run. We're called Global Heroes. I was one of 10 Americans picked. All of us who were selected wear implantable medical devices of some type. Mine is a pacemaker for bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate). EVERYONE....whatever your circumstances, never stop striving to Meet YOUR Match. [With me in the photo is my husband, Jim, who ran with me.]
