I am raising money for the American Heart Association because this is personal.

After surgery in 2025, my mom’s heart stopped. She was resuscitated and now has a pacemaker. At 81, she goes to cardiac rehab and continues to live with strength and independence.

A pacemaker also gave my dad his quality of life.

Because of research.
Because of funding.
Because someone invested in heart health before we needed it.

I am deeply grateful for the extra time, the strength, and the life they get to live.

This is my way of saying thank you and helping more hearts keep beating.
