Jessica
Jessica Green had been living with a damaged heart for as long as she can remember. At fifteen she was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, and by twenty-one she had a pacemaker. But Jessica never let those things slow her down. She would run, play volleyball, and shoot hoops without issue. Until everything changed just before her twenty-ninth birthday.
