JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The family of University of North Florida graduate Andrew Baker says he is fighting for his life after he collapsed near the finish line at the Gate River Run.
An avid runner, Baker was planning and training for months to run in the Gate River Run.
“We have pictures of him smiling, crossing the finish line probably 10 seconds before he had his heart attack,” Alred said.
“He has the biggest smile on his face, so happy he’s finishing.”“He propelled himself across that finish line, and it was clear that nothing was going to stop him,” Gillian Baker said.
Ad“I am just astounded by the support that we’re receiving, not only from his friends, but complete strangers,” Gillian Baker said.
