Wilson addressed coaches, players, and their parents with the moving story of her son, Nick Blakely, a 19-year-old young man who passed away due to SCA on August 28, 2017. Wilson led an educational talk on the warning signs of SCA and the importance of cautionary measures such as preventative heart screening and life-saving automated external defibrillators (AED) in protecting youth from tragedy. "Smiling Heart's mission is to turn every potential tragedy of SCA into a story of survival. We are proud to take this opportunity to spread awareness and promote our upcoming screening event with Simon's Heart", Wilson said. Attendees heard the message loud and clear; SGHS has asked Wilson to come back and speak again.
