My name is Erin Hugus, and I walk for my mom and dad. My mom suffered a stroke in 2017 after having suffered from untreated high blood pressure for years. Remarkably, she was able to make a full recovery.
Before my dad retired, he noticed shortness of breath while exercising. He went to the doctor and was immediately referred to the hospital. It turned out he had severe blockages that required quadruple bypass surgery. My dad is 83 years old, and he continues to be active.
I have been participating in the heart walk since 1996. I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
