tear down some of those filters?

How could we break some of those walls in between me and the people in my community?

And so I had this idea of just walking the length of the district on foot all in one day and holding three town halls along the way.

And so it was 25 miles, did it all in the Texas heat, did it all on foot.

I wasn't worried about my ability to do the walk.

I was 28 years old, perfectly healthy.

I hike Big Bend every year.

And so I wasn't worried about my ability to pull it off.

Halfway through the walk, I started to feel fatigued and a little nauseous.

I threw up a couple of times along the walk.

Somehow I finished the whole thing, finished the last town hall.

I figured I was just dehydrated.

And so I went to bed.

I thought I just needed a good night's sleep.

And I ended up sleeping for 36 hours straight.

My family got concerned.

They took me to the ER.

Nurses checked my blood sugar.

I don't think I'd ever had my blood sugar tested before.

I wasn't even really sure what blood sugar was.
