I support the AHA in honor of my husband who suffered (and thankfully survived) a major heart attack at age 48, and for my mother-in-law who was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and, who is suffering with Alzheimer's disease.
Having good heart health has a spillover effect by also reducing the incidence of dementia. Thus, reducing the burden of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. So...taking care of your heart helps take care of the rest of your body, too! It just makes sense.
I walk because I know that with every step, I'm making a difference in someone's life. And when combined with a million other Heart Walk Heroes across the nation, we have an even greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke. Will you be a Heart Walk Hero with me?
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!
