I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. This summer my father went in for his second open heart surgery. He is one of the two true hearts of our family. While at Brigham and Women's after the surgery my dad suffered a heart attack causing some major complications. He was living on his LVAD as well as an RVAD machine each functioning one side of his heart. Dad is our true warrior, a survivor, and a fighter. I am walking for my Superman in the flesh. I thank god every day that he is home and with us! This year I am walking with my sister and her company's team from PWC to support heart research.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
