However, she rebounded quickly and made lifestyle and diet changes that have made her a courageous survivor. She has gone on to sell 40 million records worldwide including Un-break My Heart and Breathe Again. We applaud Toni for her tremendous efforts in increasing the awareness of heart diseases and encouraging people to lead healthier lives!
