The Heart Walk is extremely meaningful to me and my family as I graciously call myself a heart disease survivor. Additionally, my parents share the title. Check out my personal page to read about my survival story and the importance of knowing and recognizing the symptoms of heart disease to save lives like mine.

Heart disease remains the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.​

We are walking together - not only for our own health but also for yours. And for the health of our parents, our children, and our grandchildren.​

This year, the American Heart Association’s centennial is a celebration of the lifesaving achievements and shared vision for a bold second century that will exponentially advance heart and brain health.

Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join me now and walk to save lives.
