At age 18 I was diagnosed with familial dilated cardiomyopathy. This is the same disease that my older sister and my mom passed away from years earlier. My older sister died at 8 months old, and my mom underwent 2 heart transplants and passed away at 29 years old, when I was 7.
But then, my older brother Andrew passed away suddenly in November of 2010, at age 24. We found out after he passed that he too had familial dilated cardiomyopathy. The loss of Andrew rocked our world and left us heart broken. We created this team in his memory and have walked every year since 2011.
Our goal is to help other individuals live longer healthier lives with their family members, and to hopefully cure heart disease altogether. Please help contribute to our worthy cause!
