The 28-year-old Buffalo native decided to publicly share her family's story after seeing Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffer cardiac arrest on a nationally-televised NFL game.
Terry Pegula and Kim Pegula, Jessica's parents, are the owners of the NFL's Buffalo Bills and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. Kim Pegula served as president of both the Bills and Sabres.
During the Australian Open, the then third-ranked American wore a No. 3 patch on her shirt to honor both Hamlin and her mother.
While Kim Pegula was in intensive care the entire family took turns staying by her bedside around the clock.
