Wow! This is my 14th walk in memory of my grandmother.

I walk for my Gram every year...my family walks and talks about our favorite memories with Grammy. And we remind ourselves of the importance of heart health and treatment.

I miss my Grandmother. My Grandmother was the most amazing woman I have ever met. Strong, funny, absurd at times, caring, self-sacrificing. She represents everything I yearn to be. We lost her almost te years ago- it will be just over ten years when we walk. Her heart was the part of her I loved the most. That's why I walk. I Heartwalk so people have a chance to get to know their grandmothers' hearts the way I did. So people can get to know each other's hearts. Miss you, Gram. And I love you so much! Wish you were here!

I'm not just walking. I'm Heartwalking. My participation in Heart Walk promotes fun ways to be physically active and make healthier choices every day. Imagine the impact if we reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent by 2020. Please help me reach this lifesaving goal by donating today. Together, we can make healthier, longer lives possible for everyone.

Thank you in advance for your support!
