As a child I was diagnoses with Aortic Valve Stenosis and always knew I would be undergoing surgery in my future. I am so grateful I made it 30 years before any sory of intervention! Thank you to my cardiologists and care team at Johns Hopkins and Mount Sinai for safely getting me through a Ross Procesure on Jule 14, 2022.
This year I am participating in The Heart Walk and raising money to save lives from this country's No. 1 and No. 5 killers - heart disease and stroke. Although not directly related to my Aortic Stenosis, the issue of heart health is very near and dear to MY heart.
In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
