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.
I am walking in October for the American Heart Association!! I walk because my spouse Sunny, the love of my life, had a stroke on June 15, 2020 (a few days earlier, but that's when they finally found it on the MRI). They then suffered more than 16 subsequent TIAs in the following year and a half.
They later went on to be diagnosed with elevated factor 8 which is a clotting disorder, and antiphospholipid syndrome which is another clotting disorder.
They are at a constant, exponential risk for another stroke or blood clot.

The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Assocation, we will move into our second century with Bold Hearts focused on the work ahead while celebrating our lifesaving history with those who have made it possible. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
