"Gagner" in French means to win. Michaela Gagne is showing us what a real winner is. Thank you for speaking out for women, to take more interest in heart health.

I had the pleasure of working with Michaela for a while and know first-hand what a remarkable young woman she is. It is awesome to see that she has done so much for so many at such an early stage in her life. I think that its great that she has been able share her story with so many people in order to make folks aware that even seemingly young, healthy people can have life-threatening heart conditions. I applaude her enthusiam and her willingness to springboard from her Miss Massachusetts platform to a nation-wide campaign. Keep up the great work Michaela!!
