One day it becomes personal.

In January 2021 I visited my doctor for a routine visit. I had been extra tired and easily winded when I tried to walk for exercise. My wife "encouraged" me to discuss this with my doctor and I am grateful I listened. He sent me for additonal testing which eventually identified a 100% blockage in my LAD, or widowmaker, artery. I was scheduled for double bypass surgery a few weeks later. It's been over 5 years and I am feeling great. That's 5 years I might not have gotten had I not listened to my wife, or had my doctor not listened and wrote it off as just aging and/or being out of shape. I am here today and enjoying life with my wife, my son and my grandsons because of listening and taking action. 

Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.  

Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
