MY Life is Why!
Join me in supporting the American Heart Association!
I'm not just walking. I'm HEARTwalking. You may know that I am a proud two time survivor of a CHD - congenital heart defect. I had my first open heart surgery at 10 months old, and my second at 24 years old. I have a prosthetic aortic valve and have learned how to maximize my life as I can, affectionately calling it Lauren Normal! The research and support provided by the AHA continues to have a direct impact on my life and through my participation in Heart Walk I hope to promote fun ways to be physically active and make healthier choices every day.
The scope of the AHA is expansive - impacting research on CHDs, heart disease and heart attack prevention, and stroke prevention and education. Together, we can make healthier, longer lives possible for everyone.
Thank you in advance for your support!
