I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives, including my own.
I suffered a massive heart attack and coded on Thanksgiving, 2023. It was the widow-maker heart attack, deadliest of all types with only 1 in 4 surviving. I am one of the lucky ones who survived. I am grateful to be alive.
Heart attacks are the number 1 killer of all women in the U.S. That's right, more than breast or other cancers. First question I asked my cardiologist when I heard this is WHY aren't more women hearing these facts? Part of it relates to the need for more heart disease research on women as most of studies cited in medical journals use men only as subjects.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me by donating and/or walking with me on September 8?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
