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.
Abbey and the squad cheer on the football teams’ attempt to score a point after their touchdown at the senior night game. Coach Cassidy Christensen, the cheer coach, has said that Abbey is a bright light that can’t be dulled and her energy radiates throughout any room she steps into.
