What would you say to women who are considering becoming a WomenHeart Champion?
Ila Sowins-Dunmire: I would say anyone considering becoming a WomenHeart Champion Definitely, if you even, you can't do this. I mean, I'm very introverted, a very quiet person and, normally don't put myself out there for somebody that, I don't know. But having been a nurse for 30 years, I think that maybe that made a difference in my decision.
