“God healed me.”  That was the message WTHR News Anchor Scott Swan presented to a Fishers audience Thursday morning.  Swan was the featured speaker at the Fishers YMCA Annual Fund-Raising Campaign Kick-Off Breakfast.

The journalist told two stories of how he feels God intervened to save him.  The first was a series of panic attacks he suffered at age 19 while a college student.  The second happened less than a year ago when he had a rare disease that nearly took his life.

The assembled crowd in the local YMCA gym heard the story of Army Sergeant Kevin Smith, who turned a difficult childhood into a military career.  The Y helped him achieve a military physical fitness award earned by only a few wearing the uniform.

Fishers YMCA Board Chair Florie Eaton explained how donations to this fund-raising campaign will be used to help those that cannot afford to joint the local Y.  Of the 22,000 members, roughly 20% receive some level of help from the Fishers YMCA organization through this fund-raising campaign.  Eaton says the local YMCA is proud of its record for never turning anyone away due to an inability to pay.
