JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ 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.
โWe have pictures of him smiling, crossing the finish line probably 10 seconds before he had his heart attack,โ Alred said.
โHe has the biggest smile on his face, so happy heโs finishing.โโHe propelled himself across that finish line, and it was clear that nothing was going to stop him,โ Gillian Baker said.
AdโI am just astounded by the support that weโre receiving, not only from his friends, but complete strangers,โ Gillian Baker said.
