I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. Early diagnosis saved me from a potential heart attack. Finding blockage and implanting stents greatly reduced my risk and gave me a wake up call to adjust my lifestyle. Without being pushed to be tested, due to family history, I would have never known how close I was to an issue.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
Your donation will fund 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. And please know your history and don't be afraid to get tested. It could save your life too.
