I am walking for the first time for the American Heart Association. In January of this year, I had my second cardiac ablation, this time for Atrial Fibrillation. I have learned so much about heart disease, it's different forms, and the importance of being prepared in the event of a cardiac emergency. After my ablation, I spent 4 months in Cardiac Pulmonary Rehabilitation working to increase the capacity of my heart after many years of surgeries, including my 4 spine surgeries, and the toll those recoveries took on my body. Now I am working with a special trainer to continue that momentum. I am so grateful for my doctors, my therapist, my trainer, and especially my PA, who is also a friend. Please consider giving to this cause and help us to build a country with stronger hearts.
