Road Trip: Seeing Myself on a Billboard

This month there is a picture of me on billboards and bus shelters in the Twin Cities.

Last August I posed for the photos with fellow heart survivors Angie and Jennifer, and this year’s Go Red fundraising chairperson, Andrea. At one point during the photo shoot the communications director for the American Heart Association told the photographer to “make sure you get some horizontal shots, for the billboard” and we were all just a tad surprised. Billboards . . . okay . . . oh, and bus shelters, she said.

So now my kids figure I’m famous, and it is fun to hear from people that they saw me while on a trip or their regular commute.
