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.

The Heart Association and Heart Disease are very near and dear to the Zachara family. My father, John, was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. This could have been a life ending issue, but with close monitoring and medication his doctors kept this under control. When it was time for a valve replacement, my dad chose Valentine's Day as the day for surgery. There can be no more fitting day to operate on a heart than a day devoted to love. I dedicate my campaign this year to my dad who is living a healthy and strong life! Love you Pops.
