THE STORY BEHIND THE FOUNDATION

Inspired by Addison

Addison was a senior at Mercy High School with a deep love for theatre and the arts. She was drawn to the stories told onstage and to the imagination, collaboration and hard work happening behind the scenes.

After losing Addison far too soon to a pulmonary embolism, her family and community came together to create something lasting in her memory.

The Addison L. Witt Foundation for Theatre and the Arts helps Mercy students who share Addison’s passion continue their education and pursue their own dreams in theatre and the performing arts. The foundation also raises awareness of pulmonary embolism in the hope that Addison’s story may help protect others.

PULMONARY EMBOLISM AWARENESS

Know the Signs

Pulmonary embolism is an important part of Addison’s story and of the work this foundation carries forward in her memory.

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs. Recognizing possible warning signs and seeking immediate medical attention can save a life.

Difficulty Breathing

Sudden or unexplained shortness of breath can be a warning sign.

Chest Pain

Chest pain or discomfort that becomes worse with a deep breath or cough should not be ignored.
