I walk because I know that with every step, I am one more day stronger post surgery. I walk for my personal strength, and to show other survivers it does get better every day post op. I walk for those that can't. I walk to bring awareness to the unique challenges heart patients go through. Mostly, I walk because I survived and can!

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?

Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.

This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
