It wasn’t until she arrived in the emergency room that she learned that she was at a staggering 18 percent cardio output. Doctors told her fam-ily members to say their goodbyes. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in America. To raise awareness of heart disease at a national level, February has been recognized by Congress as American Heart month since 1963. Ashley Miller, the Cape Fear director of corporate relations for the American Heart Association, reports heart disease caused 17,090 deaths among North Carolinians and was the cause of 22 percent of all deaths in 2010. Miraculously, Kim survived. Still, she says she was thoroughly down-trodden after multiple intensive surgeries. Her recovery was slow. Limited by restricted movement, she needed to find a hobby on which to focus her energy. “I looked like a scarecrow,” Kim says. “My husband said I needed something to bring me back to life and when he brought up riding therapy my brain screamed, ‘Yes! Yes! Absolutely! Ride, ride, ride!’” G eannine M. Boyette and her associate, Ryanne E. Drogos, practice in the areas of Domestic and Criminal Law, dealing with issues such as child custody and support, spousal support, equitable distribution and divorce, DWI, and criminal and traffic violations. Geannine also devotes a fair share of her practice to defending individuals against the Department of Social Services. According to Geannine, “One of the things that is unique about our firm is that we remain sensitive to the fact that our clients are being asked to make decisions about important and often complex issues while under tremendous emotional distress. As a result, we are able to more effectively meet their needs.”
