Forever Marlene’s Heartbeats was created in loving memory of Angela Marlene Kelso, a devoted mother, grandmother, and the heart of our family. Marlene had a 16 year journey with heart disease passed away from cardiomyopathy on January 1, 2025, but her love, strength, and legacy continue to beat in each of us.

This walk is more than steps — it’s awareness, remembrance, and hope. We walk to honor her life, to raise awareness about cardiomyopathy, and to help other families recognize the importance of heart health.

Every step we take represents a heartbeat.

Every heartbeat represents love.

And her love will beat forever.
