Cadie's Story
Cadie was a 15 year-old playing softball when her heart stopped as she slid into 3rd base. Everything had to go right in order for her to survive. Now as a mother, how does she cope knowing her son has the same genetic heart condition that nearly killed her 19 years ago? Working on behalf of the American Heart Association, Breakwall Media produced this intimate look at how one family's brush with tragedy illustrates the need for continued heart research. Originally aired at the 25th anniversary of the Cleveland-area chapter of the American Heart Association’s Heart & Stroke Ball, this vivid and emotional narrative has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
