This year, I am walking for my daddy!
What some people know and many people didn't until recently is that my dad has been living his entire life with a heart condition - Marfan's. This almost led to disaster in the weeks leading up to my wedding last year, but doctors were able to get in front of it.
Less than one week before my wedding, my dad went under the knife for triple bypass surgery. He was not able to walk me down the aisle or even attend my wedding, but the doctors gave me a better gift - many more years with him.
HE is the reason I am walking. And, HE is the reason that this Heart Walk is so close to my heart. I walk in honor of him - and, I would love if you would take a moment to make a donation to the American Heart Association at my fundraising link below.
Big or small, your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
