Despite many advances, cardiovascular disease is still the No.1 killer in the US. And while approximately 80% of cardiovascular disease could be prevented through a healthy diet, physical activity, a healthy weight, not smoking, controlled blood pressure, diabetes, and lipid levels - the disparities in access to care, nutrition, and healthy environments make achieving these goals far too difficult for far too many people. That's why I am committed to being a part of this relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.

I'm excited to be nominated for the American Heart Association's Leaders of Impact campaign. As part of this year's class of changemakers, I'm dedicated to making a lasting impact on the health of our community and hope that I can count on your support!
When our youngest daughter, Amelia, was eleven months old, we were told that she had a 50% chance of either dying or needing a heart transplant within 5 years, due to her severe dilated cardiomyopathy. In the months and years that followed, Amelia's amazing care team at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh guided Amelia through a meticulous medication regimen, including two different clinical trials, that would eventually improve her heart function. Not to say we're out of the woods, but her DCM is now classified as mild, leaving us better able to focus care on her intellectual disability and autism. We know how incredibly fortunate we are and will forever be grateful.
The American Heart Association is committed to advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere. I believe in this cause and our ability to make an impact in our local community and across the country.
