Running for Gabe

The Bartlett HS Cross Country Booster Club is raising money for one of our runners Gabe Higginbottom. On September 10th, after a race in Pensacola, FL, Gabe suffered a heart attack. He was sent to Sacred Heart Hospital and later transported to the UF Shands Heart and Vascular Hospital in Gainesville, FL. After running tests, they found Gabe’s right artery was completely blocked. Doctors performed an angioplasty to insert a balloon to open up his artery. Later they performed a 3-hour surgery inserting two stents and found two blood clots. He is currently recovering in Gainesville. We hope he’ll be sent home by the end of the week. The money raised will be used to offset any medical bills. No amount is too small. Please be praying for Gabe and his family as he begins the rehab process.
