BALTIMORE — This week's lookback highlights a lot of the stories you clicked on.

We start off in Frederick with Cyera Williams where the local police department is honoring one of its own former officers, Sergeant First Class Matthew R. Fast, whose life was cut short from a treatable heart condition that led to a new state law being passed in his name.

Next, we head to White Marsh with Ja Nai Wright telling the story of Mary Evans, a woman diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, who thought she'd be spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Thanks to a chance encounter by her apartment pool, and the skilled hands of an orthopedic surgeon, she's up and walking again.
