Let Me Ask You Something

Let Me Ask You Something, Anna Williams

Listen Later

This week we talk to Anna Williams, a heart disease survivor. She was first diagnosed with heart disease, which runs in her family, at 24 years old. Then a little more than a decade later, in 2018, she nearly died. And in 2019. And in 2020. 

She's truly a miracle.
