I walk and raise money for the American Heart Association because on October 9th 2020 I had my aortic valve replaced. If my doctors had not been monitoring my valve over the years I could have been in serious trouble. Thanks to research I was able to have slightly less invasive surgery than traditional open heart surgery. I now have a bovine valve that should last twenty years and does not require me to take blood thinners.
