I am slowly running (some would call it walking) because unbelievably I am able to. I've experienced heart disease at every level of life. Infant, young child, teenager, young adult and finally middle aged adult. 10 heart surgeries in my 55 years...yikes. But the AHA has made sure I'm still here. The advances made by the AHA spearheaded by people's donations, hard work and caring, have given me the opportunity to run (walk) this race. Time for me to both pay it back and pay it forward.
I hope that you will support me in my efforts and donate to the cause. Every little bit helps, and every lot of bit helps even more:) Your support will go a long way to saving lives and helping people have longer, healthier lives.
