I am able to attest that this association provides great benefits for those that take advantage.
Why do I walk and support this cause?
My youngest sister was born with Atrial Septal Defects (born with hole in the heart). She had a open heart surgery before she was 6 months old and she is doing great today. The American Heart Association provide resourceful tools that taught us how to care for, give mental support, and provided financial support with affordable options for my sister. There are also others that I am close to that has experienced some sort of issue with the heart whether it’s related to a stroke, heart attack, or high blood pressure. I walk each year I am able, to support this cause and attempt to raise as many funds as I can. Is there someone in your life you can inspire through supportive efforts.
In the past, funds raised from the Heart Walk have led to scientific breakthroughs like pacemakers, cardiac stents, and artificial heart valves that keep people alive longer. There is still time to be a part of all the FUN. Register for my team today - you won't regret it!
If you can find it in your heart to donate or have the time to walk, please join me in supporting this cause.
Have a hearty day!
Sincerely,
Shawnee
