‘Take care of ourselves’: Friends’ deaths prompt wellness trainer to create Get Fit fair
A friend’s fatal heart attack at age 42 spurred Keyuna Milam to create the wellness fair to promote healthy living.SAN ANTONIO — For wellness trainer Keyuna Milam, Saturday morning was about recalling family and friends who had died at an early age — and taking steps to help others prevent a similar fate.
Rodriguez had children, was active, kept busy and was a friend to many people. But on Jan. 29, 2022, he had a fatal heart attack. He was 42 years old.That spurred the creation of the Get Fit Wellness Fair, which made its debut Saturday at the Moade Center, 305 E. Ramsey Road.Milam, owner of Wanna Go Fit LLC, dedicated the event to Rodriguez. More than 40 people attended the fair that offered resources, panel discussions and fitness demonstrations.
Milam began with a general health segment that featured panelists Dr. Troy Robbin Hailparn and Lakesha Hairston, a registered nurse. The panelists talked about how to find balance in life. Hairston said she’s been shocked by the number of people in their 40s and younger who have died from heart disease. She recalled that her children’s father died at the age of 39 of a massive heart attack.“It’s really scary when a patient comes in on their death bed, and they expect us to perform a miracle,” Hairston said. “This is something that’s transpired for years. For me, it’s personal because I see it everyday. People are dying, not older, but younger.
