I Walk to Save Lives!

Stay Active!

My son and I have been involved in the CSRA Heart Walk for over a decade.  We love finding ways to help out our community when in need.  Every year, we have found a local 5K/10K to run in honor of the Heart Walk. This year we have signed for the Augusta Half/10K/5K and running the 10K race on February 22nd. Who wants to join?! Great way to jump start your healthy heart ❤ 

I like how AHA has been a powerful force for healthier hearts and saving lives in our communities.

  • 30+ researchers in Augusta received a total $4.4 million in research funding
  • A Farmers Market was opened in a local food desert. Seven farmers participate in the monthly market and over 300 people attend on a regular basis.  Residents using SNAP/EBT for payment received twice the value of food than what they pay.
  • An area school located in a food desert is opening a new food pantry for students.
  • Four area hospitals follow AHA's Get with the Guidelines to ensure best-in-class care and can track COVID patients with this program.

I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.

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.
