I'm running the Lawyers Have Heart 5K to support the American Heart & Stroke Associations. The work these organizations do has a huge impact on my life. My father-in-law had a series of strokes several years ago. He received excellent care at Boston-area hospitals that benefit from American Heart & Stroke Association-funded research, and he's doing much better. In addition, my dad has a rare cardiac disorder called sick sinus syndrome, and a pacemaker saved his life. Because he is young and active (a runner and cyclist who ran the Boston Marathon in 2:45 in his heyday!), his pacemaker wears out every few years, and he gets a new one. The American Heart & Stroke Associations support research on sick sinus syndrome and pacemaker technology.
I am running the Lawyers Have Heart 5K so that my dad, father-in-law, and others like them can continue to benefit from advances in cardiac and stroke research
