I am participating in the FUNraise for Heart, FUNraise for Stroke event in support of the American Heart & Stroke Association.

My mother died from congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. Her mother died from angina and congestive heart failure. I have regular checkups and already know I have an irregular heartbeat. I keep track of my blood pressure and my heart rate. As my friends, I encourage you to know your own heart-health ... do you know your resting pulse rate? ... how about your blood pressure?

Please help me reach my goal by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation today. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of many! It is faster and easier than ever to support the fight against heart disease and stroke - America's No. 1 and No. 4 causes of death. You can make your donation online by clicking the donation link.

Any amount helps. I am greatful for your support!
