Hescock's son, Jake, was a D1 football player for UCF who ultimately decided to pivot into the financial sector when he dropped dead during a routine morning jog in Boston, MA. Carey shares her heartbreaking story of her beloved son, cardiac arrest instances in young people, and her contribution to screening for genetic defects in others.
