In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

Once again, my AHA Heartwalk yearly fundraising appeal is coming your way.  I will be walking locally on October 26th in loving memory of Harvey Soolman, beloved friend, my friend Em's mom, Janine Leonard, Flossy Soolman (Harvey's mom) and my uncle Kiley, who I lost back in August 1974, way too early from heart disease.  I am also walking in loving memory of my sister, Margie Callahan, who suddenly passed away from a cardiac event in June of 2021, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen. I am walking for my cousin in law, Bill who is is doing well after significant heart issues.  I know many of us have friends and family lost too soon to heart disease.  I would appreciate any donation amount, and again, no pressure, if you are feeling overwhelmed with multiple donation requests from different organizations or charities that you support. 

 

I began walking back in 1991 when the walk was done regionally, and have only missed 2-3 times since, as this is a cause that is near and dear to me. With your help over the years, I have been able to raise thousands of dollars.  I had to miss last year's event due to a leg fracture, but am back in form now.  

 

I think that many of you know that I an aortic valve replacement in May 2023, and because of research and innovation technologies, the replacement was able to be done via my femoral artery, so I did not have to have my chest cracked open, which would have been major surgery.  It was amazing as I only had an overnight stay for the procedure. Anyway, I am fine and back to doing all my usual walking, swimming, yardwork, etc with no restrictions.  I am feeling grateful and so blessed.

 

I am attaching the URL code for those that would like to donate on-line.
