I was personally affected by it this year. My father, pictured above with a member of Meredith (NH) Fire had a heart attack in February, and the experience has forever changed me.  I am so lucky that he survived, and I am eternally grateful to the first responders, doctors, nurses, therapists, and medical community who all played a part in helping him.  That may not have been possible without the funding and research performed by the AHA.I’d be thrilled and grateful to have your support.  Whether you are able to join in the walk that day (Saturday 10/26), or you are only able to make a donation, I am optimistic that it will make a real and lasting impact for people across the country.  Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you think may be interested in walking or supporting the AHA.
