Did you know that cardiovascular disease occurs every 39 seconds and is the No. 1 killer of all Americans? Heart disease also kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. And congenital cardiovascular defects are the most common cause of infant death from birth defects.
We are walking together - not only for our own health, but also for yours. And for the health of our parents, our children, and our grandchildren. I am walking in memory of the grandparents I never had a chance to know - my grandmother, who passed away from a stroke not long after I was born and my grandfather, who passed away from a heart attack at the age of 54. I am walking for my family and friends that are impacted by heart disease.
The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives.
Please help me now by donating. Because every step counts. And together we are helping save lives!
