In 2013, I lost my dad to cancer, but for years before, he battled heart disease with grit and grace. He survived three heart attacks, a quadruple bypass, and lived with a pacemaker. Today, I?m the age he was when his heart first failed him. That milestone hits differently.
Just last month, I rushed my mom, at 78, to the ER with a dangerously low heart rate. She was moved to the heart floor, where the amazing care team gave her a second chance with a life-saving implantable pacemaker. My parents faced two kinds of heart blockages: one ?electrical,? one ?plumbing.? Both were met with courage, science, and the hands of skilled providers!
I walk for her. I walk for him. I walk for the researchers, the clinicians, and the technology that turns fear into hope. Every step supports advancements that save lives and honor the ones we love.
Join me. Donate. Walk. Advocate. Let?s make heart health a legacy worth fighting for.
