We all know of someone affected by heart disease. You may have lost loved ones or watched in desperation as I did when my Dad’s life was forever changed due to heart disease and stroke.

This year Chief and I are riding in support of my Husband John. He had quadruple bypass surgery last year and is alive today because of all the medical advances funded by the AHA.

For your friends and family touched by heart disease or stroke and for mine, I am riding to benefit the American Heart Association. The funds we raise are much needed to fund critical cardiovascular disease research and education. Every year I am amazed at the new medical advances our money has made possible.

Together we will fight our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers—heart disease and stroke. Major fundraising events like the Beach Ride we can make a difference. This year we expect to raise $350,000. Through education and research the American Heart Association is working to build healthier lives.

Thank you for supporting American Heart Association. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Happy, healthy trails to you - now and always,

Love,

Lindy & Chief
