I believe heart disease and stroke can be eliminated with more research. Can you believe that over 795,000 people suffer from a stroke in the United Stated annually? This means that every 40 seconds someone in our country has a stroke and every 4 minutes; someone dies from a stroke. There are over 140,000 people who die every year from a stroke.
That isn't ok and that is why I'm choosing to participate in this fundraising event. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives. Please help me now by donating; any amount is appreciated.
Please "Have a Heart"; the name of our fundraising team, and help us reach our goal today!
