In 2019, we lost our mom to heart failure.

Exactly a year before we were at her

appointment to see her cardiologist. All her

numbers were high-blood pressure, high

cholesterol. You see, our mother was smoker,

and although she tried her best to live a healthy

lifestyle, her habits got the best of her. When

she passed, we felt like we needed to do

something to honor her and to bring

awareness to our community that heart

disease is killing us.

We are participating in the Heart Walk

because we know all our mom needed was a

little more time. And we have the time right

now to change our habits and live heart

healthy lives.
