Eleven years ago, I lost my father to a sudden heart attack—an event that changed my life in an instant. There were no warnings, there was no time to prepare, just an overwhelming loss that left a lasting impact on me and my family.

In the years since, I’ve worked to turn that grief into something meaningful. Supporting the American Heart Association has become a way for me to honor my dad’s memory while helping to raise awareness about heart health and the importance of early prevention.

Every step I take in the Heart Walk is for him—for the moments we lost and the lives we can still save. By raising funds and awareness, I hope to help others avoid the same heartbreak and ensure more families get the time we didn’t.

Thank you for being part of this journey and supporting a cause that means so much to me. 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.
