I was diagnosed with Familial  Dialated Cardiomyopathy, in 2018.  this Genetic heart disease icomes with many lifestyle changes and adjustments to tthe day to day living. in January of 2020 I reccieved an internal cardiodefribulator to assist my heart function. By December of 2026 I was informed I was in need of a heart transplant. On January 16th 2026 I recieved the gift of life. 

I walk to bring awareness about heart health abd awareness to the resources available to heart transplant patients abd their families.
