When I was 11 years old, I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack. My mom, sister, and I were home when it happened.
One moment, everything was normal...and the next, our world changed forever.

That kind of loss stays with you forever. It shapes how you see life, family, and the fragility of every moment.

Today, I walk in support of the American Heart Association because I know how devastating heart disease can be...and how many of these tragedies may be preventable with awareness, research, and lifesaving action.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In many cases, bystander CPR is not performed. But that’s something we can change.

Cardiac arrests don’t just happen in hospitals—they happen at home, at work, on athletic fields, in our neighborhoods. And in those critical moments, the readiness of the people nearby can mean the difference between life and death.

Every dollar donated helps train more people in CPR, advances critical research, and creates more lifesaving moments for families like mine.

I walk to honor my dad.
I walk to raise awareness.
I walk so that more families get a different outcome.

I Walk to Save Lives.
Will you help me reach my goal today?
