The weather may have changed our plans, but it didn’t change why we were here. ❤️ ☔️

Survivors, families, volunteers and supporters came together for the Central Massachusetts Heart and Stroke Walk to honor loved ones and support a mission that matters.

Heart disease and stroke don’t stop for the weather — and neither did this community. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and rain with us today. 🫶

This week, Sabrina Webb of the American Heart Association and Dr. Brian Silver, president of our Central Massachusetts Board of Directors, presented Michelle Robinette at her office with this year’s Be Extraordinary Community Award. ❤️

Michelle, who serves as stroke coordinator/project manager at UMass Memorial Medical Center, has spent more than 15 years advancing heart and stroke awareness across Central Massachusetts. After losing her mother to stroke, she turned that loss into a mission to help others recognize the warning signs of stroke and act quickly in an emergency.

Through her volunteer leadership, community outreach efforts and role helping develop WooStroke, Michelle has empowered countless people with education that can help save lives.

We look forward to formally recognizing Michelle on stage at the Central Massachusetts Heart and Stroke Walk this Saturday. Congratulations, Michelle, and thank you for helping build a healthier community. 👏
