Hi there! Thank you for visiting my page :).
I walk because my father's legacy matters. I walk because it helps me find tangible ways to aid eternal grief. I walk because my children will also know how important their health is and should be.
I know that with every step, we are contributing to saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. Check out the stats: https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/heart-disease-and-african-americans
How Does Heart Disease Affect African-American Populations?
- In 2019, African Americans were 30 percent more likely to die from heart disease than non-Hispanic whites.
- Although African American adults are 30 percent more likely to have high blood pressure, they are less likely than non-Hispanic whites to have their blood pressure under control.
- African American women are nearly 50 percent more likely to have high blood pressure than non-Hispanic white women.
We have to change that. Will you help me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people live longer healthier lives.
