I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
This is my sweet daughter, Nancy Harlen. She was born with Down Syndrome and a congenital heart defect. At five months old, she underwent open heart surgery to repair a ventricular septal defect.
Today, she is a healthy and vibrant 9 year old.
I am asking for your help in supporting the American Heart Association in funding groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
