Peggy appeared at McL
ean High School like an angel out of nowhere. Arriving with her son and all the other parents with kids in tow, she was eager to receive a “normal” EKG reading for her teenager, from an on-site cardiologist who would read his results. “That is PEGGY FOX”, beamed Melissa Banks, Director of Operations for the foundation. “She is with Channel 9 news!” We all commented that she was even prettier in person than on TV.
After the screening she came up to my husband and me, impressed with the organization and flow of the event. She was amazed at the amount of teens willing to show up on such a beautiful spring day in May, and asked if she could bring her camera back to film our screening. We of course agreed, excited at the opportunity to spread awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
Like a whirlwind, Peggy left the school, stopped by the annual McLean Day at Lewinsville Park with her family, and was back 2 hours later. With her TV camera in hand, she summarized our event with her grace and style. She then agreed to emcee our annual “Every Heart Counts” fundraising gala with even more grace and style. Peggy advocated on our behalf, believed in our cause and asked for nothing in return. She was our gift.
