Ceirra Zeager was 14 when she passed out at home the day after her first winter formal. When she woke up on the floor, she “felt like there was an elephant on my chest.” At the hospital, she learned blood clot had traveled through a hole in her heart and lodged in a coronary artery, causing a heart attack. She had surgery to plug the hole and was prescribed powerful blood thinners to dissolve the clot. Though the heart attack permanently damaged her heart, she enjoyed a relatively normal life, attending college and getting engaged, until she began experiencing extreme fatigue. Shortly after her wedding, Ceirra underwent less-invasive open-heart surgery repaired a leaky valve. Determined to stay healthy, Ceirra, now 23, does high-intensity exercise regularly, eats a healthy, low-sodium diet and practices self-care. She also shares her story with others, emphasizing the physical and mental effects of a major health issue such as heart disease. “I had this crazy, tragic thing happen to me, and I want to use it for good and raise as much awareness as I can. I have purpose now.” We're proud to join forces with The Children's Heart Foundation to raise awareness and advance lifesaving research for congenital heart defects.
