I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.

I am walking in memory of my Aunt Pam. She passed away way too young, at the age of 52, from her second heart attack. My Aunt Pam is standing next to her daughter, Sarah, in the picture. I miss her dearly.

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?

Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.

This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
