My grandmother, my great grandfather, and my grandfather in-law.
All have suffered heart attacks in their lives - All have had to undergo severe changes to their daily lives due to heart disease and heart issues.
My grandmother thrives because of a cow aortic valve replacement.
My great-grandfather lost his life to heart failure / heart disease.
My grandfather in law passed away peacefully after his pacemaker was deactivated.
For me: It's hereditary. Something I hope to extinguish within my time on this planet for my generation of family. Something I hope that, along with other's help, I can better in others by fundraising for the Heart Walk.
