I walk because heart disease and stroke have touched my life in profound ways. I am a stroke survivor, and during my recovery I learned that I had also experienced a silent heart attack. My father passed away from a heart attack just one day before his 54th birthday.
I walk to honor his memory, to celebrate my second chance at life, and to help create a future where fewer families experience this kind of loss. Every step and every dollar raised brings us closer to a world free of heart disease and stroke.
