I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
I walk because heart disease has impacted my family for generations and continues to today.
I walk because my father began feeling symptoms of heart disease the year I was born, and through life-saving medical advances, lived a full, active life for 35 more years before heart disease took his life.
I walk because my brother received life-saving heart surgery two years ago, suffering from the same genetic predisposition to heart disease as our father.
I walk because numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins have battled and continue to battle this disease.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
