The Heart of the Story: Young woman’s spirit gallops on

Our Quad Cities News is partnering with award-winning journalist Gary Metivier for The Heart of the Story. Each week, Gary showcases inspiring stories of everyday people doing cool stuff, enjoying their hobbies, and living life to the fullest. Stories that feature the best of the human condition.

The Mississippi Valley Fair is so much more than just the music, rides and food. For many, it’s an opportunity to showcase years of hard work and dedication with crafts and animals. Gary Metivier takes us to the fair for a touching tribute to a young woman whose life was taken away too soon from a rare auto immune disease, in The Heart of the Story.

Gary Metivier has The Heart of the Story above and even more about their story and what happens next on YouTube. You can also listen to the extended versions on his podcast. The Heart of the Story with Gary Metivier is available on all platforms — and now Our Quad Cities News.
