Heart disease and stroke have touched far too many people I love. My family has experienced the heartbreak of congenital heart disease, and over the years I've watched friends, colleagues, clients, and members of our community face their own heart health challenges. Those experiences have shaped me and continue to remind me why this work matters.

Supporting the American Heart Association is about more than fundraising. It's about creating a future where more people know CPR, where schools and workplaces are prepared to respond in an emergency, where research continues to advance, and where families have more time with the people they love.

Every day in my professional life, I see the difference that good health makes. The ability to remain independent, recover from illness, and enjoy meaningful moments with family often begins with a healthy heart. That connection is what fuels my passion for this mission.

I'm proud to support the Heart Walk because every dollar raised helps move us closer to better prevention, better treatment, and more survivors with stories still to tell.

Thank you for supporting this cause and for helping build healthier communities for our families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and future generations.
