I was 16 years old when my dad suffered a massive heart attack.
I was 35 when I delivered his eulogy.
At every physician appointment, for as long as I can remember, I have noted that heart disease runs in my family, yet my drive to support heart health didn’t shift until my family and I were making arrangements for my dad’s funeral.
While I realize I am not always in the driver’s seat when it relates to my genetic health, I am confident that I am in full control of the decisions I make from here forward and the education I enlist to ensure that my two daughters will never know the reality of standing in my shoes.
Walk with me on September 22, 2024 to raise funds and awareness so fewer families have to experience the pain of losing a loved one to heart disease.
With love and heart- Lauren
