Heart disease has touched my life in multiple ways—through family, friends' families, friends. Too many of us know the pain of loss, the weight of worry, or the quiet moments of grief that aren’t always seen or spoken about.

I am walking for them ~ the ones lost, the ones living with heart disease and for family and friends who grieve silently.

With every step the hope is to raise awareness and create a future where fewer people have to experience this kind of loss.
