Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Unfortunately, Rachel's uncle lost his life to the battle of this disease nine years ago. He was only 37 years old when he passed and left behind his wife and two kids, both were under the age of 7 years old. After his passing, Rachel's family grew even closer together. Less than a year after he passed, she raised over $5,000 for heart research, started a team advocating for this cause, walked in several 5k events, was the health and wellness coordinator for the Harry Dombrowski Youth City Commission, and all of this led to advocating for this cause nationwide as a full-time news anchor spread the message about health awareness. One of the other things that Rachel has been able to do is create her campaign called Healthy Heart Healthy Life. Throughout this time, Rachel has opened her own Instagram account and posted helpful tips and tricks on how to stay healthy and lead an active lifestyle. Her mission is not to let any other family go through the same thing as she did.
