A Health Hero is someone who knows you inside and out. They cheer for you, fight for you, and push you beyond what you believe you are capable of. They know your goals, and make it their own mission to see you realize those dreams.

That is, until a toddler came along and made a poor choice, a door fell, a crash was heard, and the tree was found laying discombobulated on the floor. The tree wasn’t the only one left discombobulated. Branches bent, gaping holes, broken ornaments, lights falling off. A […]
