I joined the American Heart Association's Leaders of Impact campaign on behalf of my friends Sarah Starry and Victor Mendoza and their sweet daughter Coco. Coco is a survivor of a congenital heart defect-born with Tetralogy of Fallot-and her journey is the reason we are so passionate about raising awareness and support for cardiovascular disease and congenital heart disease, the most common birth defect affecting 1 in every 100 lives. Sarah has been nominated as a 2025 Leader of Impact by the American Heart Association, and I've proudly joined her team to support this life-saving mission.
Participating in Leaders of Impact is personally important to me because I've seen the devastating effects heart disease has on those we love. You have an opportunity to help support my efforts and shape the health of our community, as well as support the innovative research and bold initiatives of the American Heart Association that save and improve lives. The American Heart Association truly measures success in longer, healthier lives. By leveraging the strengths of this organization and mobilizing leaders across our community, together we can truly make an impact and ensure that every member of our community will have the greatest opportunity to lead their best life.
