I've read the risks for heart disease and aware of the symptoms of a heart attack in both men and women, but I never suspected it would happen to my husband, Mike, in late 2019. Having just turned 50, healthy and an active runner with no known family history of heart disease and no prior symptoms, there didn't seem to be much to worry about in that category. Life was good until Mike suffered a heart attack, and in one horrifying instant, my family's world suddenly turned upside down.
Fortunately, Mike fully recovered and I'm thankful every day that he is counted as a survivor. I'm honored to be walking with him in the Heart Walk this year, helping to save lives. But it's not just my efforts alone that will one day help us see a world free of heart disease and stroke. I am walking with a team of heart heros because together, we will have an even greater impact. You can help us change the world, one step at a time, by donating to my fundraiser.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives. I can't do it alone. Please help me now by donating. Because every step counts, and together we are helping save lives!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
