Meet Outstanding Advocate, Gabby Ralphe

I began advocating against teen e-cigarette use when I was 14-years-old. As a freshman in high school, I looked around at my classmates and friends and was concerned about their newfound relationships with Juul. At this time the vaping epidemic was in its infancy and few adults had any sense of just how many kids owned a vape.

Advocate Spotlight, Jack Simono

I had a routine test 14 years ago and was diagnosed with two arteries that were 90% blocked, even though I was a lifelong runner and had no symptoms. Fourteen years later, with 4 stents, a daily statin drug, continued exercise and a healthy diet, I'm still running and healthy.
