Twelve years ago, our loved one, Peter Mercurio passed away from heart disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). I'm sure everyone has had a loved one, or somebody they know be affected by heart disease.  Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, but it is preventable and controllable.  Take action now to protect your heart health. PETE is Why! LIFE is Why! Join me in supporting the American Heart Association!  We're a relentless force!  Now imagine how much stronger we'll be working as a team!

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer and stroke ranks No. 5 in our nation.  You could do something to change that.

In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.

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. Join our team today or support by donating towards our fundraising goal.
