Heart disease remains the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. We aren't just walking; we’re Heartwalking. We walk with a vital purpose: to end the loss caused by faulty hearts and stroke, so other families don't have to endure the heartache of losing someone so deeply special.

We walk in loving memory of David Karpinia—an extraordinary husband, father, and friend who passed away from a sudden, unexpected heart attack. Over the years, heart disease and stroke have continued to impact our family and friends, reminding us why this mission is so urgent. Every survivor in our circle drives our passion, and David’s memory fuels our dedication.

9 Years Strong: For nine incredible years, David’s Team has stood united in this mission.

Family and Friends United: Bound by love, shared memories, and a drive to protect future generations, our team proves the power of unity.

Creating a Lasting Legacy: Year after year, your support and generosity directly fund life-saving research, education, and advocacy through the American Heart Association.

Join us as we mark 9 years of turning grief into purpose and hope into action. Be part of a legacy that honors David’s life while building a healthier, longer future for everyone.
