My Family is Why!
My company, Medtronic, has participated in the Boston Heart Walk since before I joined them in 2009. We became sponsors of the walk in 2010, and I have been a team coach ever since. It has always been something fun for our employees to participate in, while also supporting a worthwhile cause.
In 2019 my support for the Heart association became more personal, when my father had two cardiac procedures. My focus went from company initiative to giving back in honor of my dad, a survivor. Now, my committment runs even deeper after the loss of a beloved uncle to a heart attack earlier this year. Heart Disease knows no bounds and affects us all in devestating ways.
The Heart Walk is certainly a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration, but it is also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.
2025 is the 101th Anniversary of the American Heart Association and as not only a Team Coach, but as a member of the Boston Heart Walk Executive Leadership Team, I am even more excited about the great things to come!
Thank you in advance for your support!
