"Dolores Marino, an Apple Valley resident for four decades, nearly died in 2006. Now she's the face of Cheerios' heart awareness campaign, plastered on 8 million cereal boxes in stores and homes across the country. 'The irony of my story is that I have been a nurse for more than 25 years,' Marino, 61, said. 'I take care of patients. Never in my wildest imagination would I have predicted open-heart surgery for myself.' About 20 years ago, Marino attended a health fair put on by nursing students at Victor Valley College. She paid $25 to have lab work done, and found out she had high cholesterol. When she was in her mid-50s, Marino learned she also had high blood pressure." - Freedom Communications, Inc.Friday, February 20, 2009
