I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We all have been personally touched by heart and vascular disease. As a stroke survivor, I am committed to advancing the work the American Heart Association continues to lead in scientific breakthroughs, community impact, education and prevention.
These efforts result in lives saved and improved.
This year, I'm particuarly proud to walk as I just assumed the role of President of the Board of the Philadelphia American Heart Association. We have an amazingly talented and dedicated volunteer board, supported by an exceptional staff at Phila AHA.
Please consider joining us on October 24, 2026 at Citizen's Bank Park for the 2026 Heart Walk! If you can't walk, consider a contribution. Every dollar counts.
With heart,
Kate
