My dad has always been my biggest supporter. I go to him when I need advice, need a friend, or just need to hear a silly dad joke. He is hardworking, cares about people deeply, and taught me how to be independent.
My world turned upside down when my dad had a heart attack. It was sudden, terrifying, and the kind of moment that stays with you forever. Thankfully, he listened to his gut, went to urgent care, and they got him to the hospital where he was able to receive life-saving care.
I am so thankful that he was able to get the care he needed, and am walking for my dad and all of the families who have experienced this happening to someone they love.
The AHA funds lifesaving research, helps educate communities about heart health, and ensures more families get the second chance we were lucky to receive. 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.
