At 16 years old, Abbey Fawcett’s life changed when she went into cardiac arrest during a cheer camp routine. Nearly two months later, she was diagnosed with CPVT, a rare but life-threatening genetic heart condition. This project focuses on Abbey as she navigates recovery, steps into a new role with her team, and refuses to let her bright spirit fade while waiting for clearance to return to the mat. Her story is one of resilience, community, and the power of a team.
On the sidelines, Abbey shows her Coach, Cassidy Christensen, a definition of her heart condition. Abbey is extremely open about her medical condition and physical struggles; she doesn’t allow them to control her life and instead is working to balance her health and passions.
