I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
I was personally touched by heart disease on October 3, 1995. My mother, luckily, was in the hospital for observation when she had a massive heart attack and was rushed to emergency open heart surgery. she was 45, and the attack damaged her heart so much that she needed a heart transplant. Unfortunately, she was not a good candidate for a transplant and she died in her sleep from a 2nd heart attack on December 19, 1999.
