The Chronicle February 27, 2020 A9 Heart From page A8 drinking more water than I have ever drank, in my entire life. I also increased my walking. I even lost 10 pounds. These things have made a huge difference in my life. Decision number four. Unfortunately, Betty’s heart story doesn’t end there. She lost her hus band Stephen seven years ago following compli cations from open heart surgery. “We were high school sweethearts. In 38 years together, we built a life, raised our children, and worked in our church and community to make a difference,” shared Betty. “I continue to rebuild my life without him. Heart disease is a culprit that steals the dreams you have of growing old together, meeting his grandchildren, and walking our daughter down the aisle.” Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States. However, heart dis ease and stroke are up to 80% preventable. “My de cisions on that day could have had a tragic end, but thanks to my friends and co-workers, I’m still here to share my story and to help other women take heart issues seriously, lis ten to their bodies, and take the time to focus on their own health so they can make the best deci sions. As women, we need to allow ourselves to put our health first. It’s the only way we can continue helping others,” said Betty. Betty Speaks served as a Forsyth County Go Red Woman in 2017. She con tinues to share her story to help other women and their families raise aware ness about heart issues and the painful loss that heart disease can cause. Novant Health is proud to be the American Heart Association’s Life Is Why and Go Red for Women Sponsor in Forsyth County celebrating all women in Forsyth County, support ing women wherever they may be in their journey, and encouraging women to put their health first.

BROWN I will fight for all of my initiatives: Disability, Education, Healthcare, Economic Development, Jobs, Small Business, I Seniors, Veterans, and Women's Rights. NC STATE REPRESENTATIVE 4 THE PEOPLE Paid For by: Kanika Brown for NC State Rep Committee CORRECTIONS: In the Feb. 13 edition of The Chronicle, in the article, “Un sung Heroes: Nicole Little,” it states that Little worked with the Wake Forest Innocence and Justice Clinic to help free Darryl Hunt. Little did not join the clinic until Hunt was already free. The Chronicle regrets this error. In the Feb. 13 edition of The Chronicle, in the article “For syth County becomes latest Second Amendment Sanctuary after 4-3 vote,” it was said that Forsyth County passed a reso lution to become a “Second Amendment Sanctuary.” The resolution that was passed on Feb. 6 declares Forsyth County to be a constitutional rights protection county and support for protection of Second Amendment Rights. While the differ ences between the sanctuary status and support of the Second Amendment can seem subtle, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ resolution does not classify the county as a “sanctuary.” We apologize for any confusion this misunder standing may have caused. In the Feb. 20 edition of The Chronicle, in the article, “Black History event details local sit-in movement,” there was a quote incorrectly attributed to Barbara Morris. The quote reads, “Let me tell you this because they don’t tell you this, Carl Mat thews had the first victory sit-in. He was the first to eat. He sat down and he ate on May 25. What you must also understand is that Greensboro people didn’t eat until July 25; that’s almost two months later. We don’t hear that, but that’s what makes Winston-Salem so special; we were not the first, but we were the first to be successful.” The quote actually came from James Webster. The Chronicle regrets this error.
