Regional Contact

Revisit into the Afib Asian

I haven't used this spot in quite some time since 2020 was just a total write off. I had a lot of goals planned, but sadly 2020 was probably worse than 2019. So rather than dwell on the past it is time to move forward.

However I'm going to have to dwell a bit on the past since the name of this blog is the AfibAsian I have to retell my story, but this time I was asked to retell my story on camera with Joel Haslam of Regional Contact fame for CTV News Ottawa.  

I had heard that the University of Ottawa Hearth Institute was celebrating the 45th anniversary and they were looking for stories from Heart patients to celebrate February's Hearth Month. So of course I submitted my story. I heard back from Katya from the Heart Institute Foundation and she wanted me to be featured in a segment for the Hearth Institute. This was on the 15th of January so we setup a shooting date and that was today. 

We met at chez moi and Katya and I walked to the TCT trailhead and Joel went on ahead to get setup. Without giving too much away it was a lot of just questions on my journey and what I'm doing now to help support the Heart Institute. Joel did a lot of videos which hopefully there is some decent material that he has as if you've ever seen his stories the amount of content will be put into a segment that will air this weekend.

So for now you will just have to stay tuned and once I obtain the link I will share it. 

For now some behind the scenes photos.

Joel wanted a potential shot of me walking Shade so she may make the cut.
