I walk because heart disease and the comorbidities associated with heart disease affect many people that I love.
I walk for Big Jeff Neal because he was Tony and my biggest fan. He rooted us to get married and said so each time he saw us. If he could have officiated the wedding he would have!
I walk for my husband because heart disease is so prevalent in his family.
I walk for my children because I want to be an example to them. I want to be healthy for them. I want to be healthy for me so I can live to see my children and grandchildren go up and succeed.
I walk for my grandparents. My granny lost her life to CHF. She was an amazing woman, wife, mother, and grandmother.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
