I walk for my Father who had a quadruple bypass lived for many years before suffering a stroke and heart attack before he passed away.

 

I walk for my Mother who had heart surgery to correct a defect that she had all her life, that they found long after she'd given birth to 4 boys, is 86 and still going strong.

 

I walk for my Niece who had 5 heart surgeries before she was even 1 year old, has had multpile valve replacements since, became a nurse, just got married and lives life every day to the fulllest.

 

I walk for many family, friends, classmates, co-workers and acquaintances who have had heart related incidents and still live to tell their stories.

 

I walk for my and with my church group to help benefit so many more in need.

 

And I walk for my health to keep hereditary heart desease, high blood pressure and diabetes at bay while I live my best life.
