“Everywhere I’ve played, I’ve tried to honor my mom and honor her name,” Wagner said. “This is a place that’s embraced me and become a special place to me, so I’m excited to extend that into D.C.”
Through FAST54, Wagner hopes to remind people affected by strokes and their loved ones that they are not alone. FAST54 includes a multimedia comic book and film about Wagner’s playing career, dedication to giving back and recognizing the signs of a stroke (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911).
