GRANNY TO GO ONLINE FOR HEART OPERATION



PHOENIX (Wireless Flash) – Here’s some heart warming news: A 74- year-old great grandmother has agreed to have her open-heart surgery broadcast over the internet to raise money for other heart patients. Juanita Keller of Phoenix, Arizona, will undergo her third bypass surgery next Wednesday – and this time it will be broadcast live in the hopes of raising $1 million for the American Heart Association. Keller, who still stays active working at a ceramics store, says at her time of life she isn’t shy about having her surgery broadcast to thousands of viewers. The great grandma says it’s worth it if she can help raise money so other people can have needed surgery. The operation is scheduled to place on May 9 at 8 a.m. Pacific time at a website called Givinghearts.net
