This is my first Heart Walk. I got talked into it by a friend and now here I am! It's a little more than peer pressure, though -- the American Heart Association is doing good things, getting people trained in CPR, funding research. Moving us forward.
On a personal note, I've lost people to heart problems, and I've come close to losing more, but some of these people are still around for a while longer due to the absolutely amazing advances of recent decades. I'm grateful for the progress and I want to see more of it.
