Andie Mae Carpenter was a Holley High School graduate studying to be a radiologic tech at North Country Community College.
"She actually figured out that she has a passion for CAT scan. She was going to pursue that after graduation,” said her mother, Maria Vowles.
But on 31st January 2019, the 20-year-old suddenly died after one of her arteries ruptured. At 15-years-old, Andie was diagnosed with vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
Now, her family is on a mission to raise awareness about the condition. They launched Adventuresinlove4Andie "We're hoping people can continue that on and honor Andie's memory by leaving those stones in places that make them think of her or places that she would have loved to visit,” said Mandy Carpenter, Andie’s stepmother."
