Over the years, Lindsay has been highlighted in media stories, has participated in lobbying events in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and in Washington, D.C., and has raised funds for several AHA cause areas. Last year she was one of a handful of advocates chosen to travel to the nation’s capitol to advocate for health care reform on behalf of heart patients. Lindsay’s ability to tell the incredible story of being the youngest recipient of a pacemaker at the time, her continuing worries about adequate coverage as she transitions from student to professional, and how her experiences aren’t unique, were incredibly impactful to Congressional staff members. And this is just one small example of how Lindsay’s passion has a reach that’s so vast and inspiring.
In addition to her work with the American Heart Association, one of her many other accomplishments is a toy drive she created and runs each year at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. Lindsay’s list of accomplishments is extensive, and the many people she’s touched throughout the organization--staff members and volunteers alike--sing her praises. Thank you Lindsay, and congratulations on receiving AHA’s Distinguished Achievement Award!
Congrats I hope we can work together, it would be nice to do something together!!! Please email me!!
