Hannah Wernke died two years ago at the tender age of 8. She spent half her life going through a battery of tests, as doctors tried to determine the cause of her seizures. The diagnosis came only after Hannah died; Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia. Her mom and dad have established a foundation in her honor, and are organizing the second annual “Smile With ME! 5K Run and 1 Mile Family Walk.”
