Sarina Fazan is on the move. The Emmy award winning broadcast journalist is always involved in numerous projects, whether it’s being interviewed for national shows, sharing stories about the Tampa community or hosting her podcast “On the Record with Sarina Fazan.” And now, Triage Consignment Boutique in Tampa wants to make sure the news maker is dressed in style.

Big news from Vanna Nguyen, Queena’s mother and author of The Life She Once Knew: The Incredible True Story of Queena, The Bloomingdale Library Attack Survivor, as featured in episode 38 of “On The Record With Sarina Fazan.” Here is her press release, announcing the much-anticipated release of the book:

Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or SMA, is a degenerative neuromuscular disease, and it’s the number one genetic cause of death for infants. When Andy Butler was born in 2009, his parents Audra and Alan had never heard of SMA, so his terminal diagnosis was blindsiding. At that time, there were no treatment options for Andy, and he died from complications caused by the disease when he was just five months old. Audra, who also is part of the Sarina Fazan Media team, joins Sarina on this special podcast to tell Andy’s story and to discuss how you can continue his fight as part of Andy’s Army. Join Sarina and be part of Team Andy’s Army at the Cure SMA 2020 November Virtual Walk-N-Roll by registering at www.Events.CureSMA.org/goto/AndysArmy2020.
