On August 4th, 2023, my world changed forever. I lost my mother to complications worsened by cardiovascular disease.
My mom wasn’t just my mother; she was my role model, my guiding light. She lived her life with fierce determination, compassion, and a relentless drive for excellence. She was the kind of person who lifted everyone around her—family, friends, colleagues—pushing them to be better, to be kinder, to never give up. Her strength, her love, and her legacy are woven into the fabric of my life.
I walk in her memory. I walk so that others can have more time with their loved ones. Cardiovascular disease claims 1 in 5 lives every year in the U.S., making it the leading cause of death. This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a harsh reality, a reality my family now knows all too well.
Every dollar we raise brings us closer to lifesaving research, enhanced treatments, and ways to add precious moments for families. Your donation, whether small or large, can literally give someone a tomorrow, another day, another year, another experience.
Join me in this fight. Walk with me. Donate with me. Honor those we’ve lost, and help save, educate, and inspire those we love.
