Emily Falcon lives in Massachusetts. At seven weeks old, she had a heart attack and was diagnosed with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). This led to two open-heart surgeries, one at age six and another at age thirty-five. She loves travel and animals, both of which have helped her get through difficult times. While living a constrained life, Emily has sought out adventures whenever she can, such as trekking up volcanoes to observe mountain gorillas in Uganda, volunteering with cheetahs and baboons in Namibia, playing with wolves at the Arctic Circle, and eating with orangutans in Singapore. She is now an athlete who participates in a weekly run club and runs in 5K races throughout the year. She hopes to inspire others who have health limitations to never waste a moment and not let life pass them by. https: //www.babyheartspress.com/emily-falcon
This is the story of a woman with a bad heart who was able to overcome all challenges with tenacity and a good heart. Emily Falcon is a gifted storyteller. The story is packed with action. It is a reminder to value every single day, hour, minute. Dr. Marius Stan, scientist, author, and actor (Breaking Bad) Perseverance, determination, and a positive attitude toward oneself and the ability to seize opportunity are just a few takeaways from Emily's personal and heartwarming story. Jack Fleming, President and CEO, Boston Athletic Association Emily takes the reader into her tumultuous health journey, which placed her on the sidelines. It culminates in her ability to move from the sidelines into the path of active participation. I shed tears when she described her many experiences with failed cardioversions and ablations and could not begin to imagine the anxiety and frustration that she endured. I rejoice with her now that she can move from the sidelines to the finish line of almost everything. Daphne Davis-Patrick, DNP, Author, Educator, Inspirational Speaker A powerful, personal story of a woman fighting for independence and happiness. It's difficult to talk openly about one's fears and self-conscious feelings. Emily lets us know exactly what she was feeling. She lets us inside the experience of living with chronic illness. Frank Jaworski, CRNA, father to an adult born with congenital heart disease (CHD) I love the uplifting message of this book. It's so good to have this out there for people who feel their problems are just too much to overcome. Emily is very relatable to anyone who's struggled with long-term health issues. Hope Angelina, author, The Story of Hope: A Mother and Transdaughter's Odyssey of Rediscovery, to be published in 2024; adult with CHD As a heart patient myself, I felt like I was gaining a friend while reading Emily's book. She described the life and emotions of a heart warrior so well! I was very touched by Emily's story. Lauren Elizabeth, author, Lessons from a Broken Heart, to be published in 2024; graphic designer; adult with CHD This is a story of a woman and her team of caregivers' amazing journey of multiple medical challenges and her successes over them. Emily is a role model for all who face and overcome challenges. Having cared for hundreds of adults with CHD I still found the final race description to be very impactful and I will admit it brought me to tears. Disty Pearson, PA-C
