Life is Why!
Join me in supporting the American Heart Association!
I'm not just walking. I'm Heartwalking.
I am participating and leading a team at the 2022 Greater Maryland Heart Walk supporting the American Heart Association. If you join my team, we will literally save lives together. Yes, literally. In the past, funds raised from the Heart Walk have led to scientific breakthroughs like pacemakers, cardiac stents, and artificial heart valves that keep people alive longer. There is still time to be a part of all the FUN. Register for my team today - you won't regret it!
On the morning of August 9th, 2018, I made the decision to participate in the Heart Walk in my grandfather's memory. He died at the age of 55 from a massive heart attack. The same day he was given a clean bill of health from his cardiologist.
It was later that afternoon on August 9, 2018, my mom was brought to Carroll Hospital by ambulance, a STEMI was called. She had a heart attack and had to get 2 stents. One vessel was 99% blocked and the other 89% blocked.
Mom was also given a clean bill of health two days prior to her heart attack.
She was very fortunate to be close to the hospital and know the signs of having a heart attack.
My mom is very blessed not have any permeant heart damage.
With diet and life style changes, mom is doing well.
Together we can make a difference!!!
Thank you in advance for your support!!!
