On May 3, 2021 I had heart surgery to replace my aortic heart valve which was failing. On Aug 10, 2022 my mother suffered a stroke while driving to church like she did every morning. She never walked again. Then on March 30, 2023 the unthinkable happened again. While I was driving home from work, I also suffered a stroke and found myself trapped in my car that had flipped on its side. I was rushed from hospital to hospital where I received emergency brain surgery a few hours later and am happy to say that I made a full recovery.
I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. I walk for those like my mother who was never able to walk again.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
