In 2022, Puyallup resident Shelly Evans was at work chatting with a co-worker when everything suddenly changed. After returning to her desk, it felt like she was looking through a kaleidoscope. Luckily, a co-worker walked by and called her name.

Shelly remembers hearing her co-worker, but she couldn't respond. Realizing something was wrong, the co-worker quickly called for help and someone dialed 911. Medics arrived and rushed Shelly to the hospital, where she was treated for a stroke.

The quick action of Shelly's co-workers in recognizing the warning signs of stroke and calling 911 was critical to her survival and recovery. Today, Shelly encourages everyone to learn the signs and symptoms of stroke because acting quickly can save a life.

Learn more about stroke warning signs and symptoms at https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/stroke-symptoms.

Shelly participates in the Washington Heart and Stroke Walk, where she and her family can celebrate her recovery, ringing the survivor bell at the finish line each year. This fall, Shelly will once again join thousands of survivors, families and supporters at the walk to help fund lifesaving research, support stroke education and inspire hope for others facing similar journeys. ❤️👟

Join Shelly and make a difference. The Washington Heart and Stroke Walk will be in Tacoma and Spokane on Sept. 19 and Seattle on Oct. 10.

We're delighted to welcome Meghan Bradner to the American Heart Association Washington team as a senior development director, leading our Washington Heart and Stroke Walk work.

In her own words, Meghan says she's "passionate about connecting people and organizations with opportunities to create meaningful impact. The Association's commitment to improving and saving lives through research, education, advocacy and access to health resonates deeply with me."

Meghan's prior development leadership roles at health nonprofits have enabled her to connect passionate volunteers, donors and corporate collaborators with causes that create that meaningful impact she cares a lot about. She's "excited to bring that experience to advancing the American Heart Association's mission." We're excited to have you on board, Meghan!

Outside of work, she loves going on walks and bike rides, exploring local trails, enjoying time out on the water and skiing in the winter. She's also an avid tennis player.

Welcome to the team, Meghan ♥️
