In 2019, we lost our mom to heart failure.  Exactly a year before we were at her appointment to see her cardiologist. All her numbers were high-blood pressure, high cholesterol. You see, our mother was smoker, and although she tried her best to live a healthy lifestyle, her habits got the best of her.  When she passed, we felt like we needed to do something to honor her and to bring awareness to our community that heart disease is killing us. 

We are participating in the Heart Walk because we know all our mom needed was a little more time. And we have the time right now to change our habits and live heart healthy lives.
