My Heart Story:
I am proud to call myself a heart disease survivor. I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a condition that affected my heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. At one point, my heart function was severely reduced, but through treatment, faith, perseverance, and taking care of my health, my heart has made an incredible recovery.
My journey has given me an entirely new appreciation for life and inspired my passion for heart health. I’m participating in the Heart Walk to celebrate how far I’ve come, raise awareness, and support others who are still fighting their own battles with heart disease.
Every step I take is a reminder of how far I've come, how blessed I am to still be here, and how grateful I am for a second chance.
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. Help me reach my goal today!
