In 2002, Dad had his first Heart Surgery to fix a heart defect he was born with. He lived for 13 more years after that surgery. With that surgery the doctors advised us how bad his heart had been and that he had most likely had multiple heart attacks prior to that.
2015 Dad lost his battle to Heart Disease. It was one of the hardest things to do, Say goodbye to my Daddy, and watch him suffer from a failing heart.

Now roll to 2024, 9 years after Dad passed, and Mom is now struggling with Heart Disease. I hope to have many more years with Mom.
I walk in Memory of Dad, in Support of Mom, and in memory of family who passed and struggled with heart problems.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death.
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
