I participated in my first Heart Walk in 2023 after having a health scare which made me re-evaluate my lifestyle choices. Participating in this event helped me to get moving and exercise more often. As a result, I have lost some weight and have been able get my diabetes and blood pressure under control.
I am walking in this event as a tribute to my late father, Larry A. Jelley. My dad suffered a heart attack and stroke in the hospital after a routine medical procedure and passed away soon afterward. This walk is for you Dad!
