On Feb 12th 2025, I underwent open heart surgery for an aortic aneurysm and an aortic valve replacement. Years ago, I might not have survived, but with technological advances in biological tissue valves, aortic grafts, as well as an amazing surgeon, I stand here today. This walk I'm participating on Sept 27th is not just for myself, but for heart health awareness because heart defects, heart disease and aneurysms do not discriminate against age, sex or race.
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving surgeries.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today!
