Ep. 74 Amy Johnson: From Broken Heart to Rocking from the Heart
Amy Johnson's husband, Pete, was diagnosed with aortic valve disease and an aortic aneurysm in 2015. Following the diagnosis, Pete and Amy realized how few resources were available to people struggling with aortic conditions. After Pete’s open-heart surgery in 2017, the Johnsons wanted to find a way to help others.
After Pete recovered from surgery, the Johnsons founded Rock from the Heart. Through concerts and educational events, Rock from the Heart uses rock music to raise awareness, provide hope and lessen fears about aortic conditions.
In this episode of Flip Your Script with Kristi Piehl, Amy shares their powerful story and their hopes and dreams for Rock from the Heart.
