I’m raising money for the American Heart Association because research and education saves lives, something my family knows firsthand.

In the late 1990s, experimental treatments kept my grandmother’s heart beating and gave us precious extra years with her until she passed in 2014. We are forever grateful to her care teams at the Cleveland Clinic and in Utica, whose compassion and dedication made those years possible.

Heart disease touches every family. Together, we can support the research, education, and care that help keep hearts beating longer and stronger.

Thank you for your generosity.
