I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
My family's world changed in 2016 when my mom was diagnosed with cardiomyophathy (weakened heart muscles). This eventually caused her to have a stroke in 2017. These sudden events called for a team of fabulous cardiologists (heart doctors) and neurologists (stroke doctors) to get her feeling better and establish a new lifestyle with diet, medications, etc. Thanks to them, and the continued lifesaving research funded by the American Heart Association, she lives a healthly life (with her weak heart muscles and all!) and is doing great!
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. It is up to us to change that. Will you help me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives like my mom.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today. Also we'd love to see you out walking on November 11th! Together we can make a difference - one step at a time!
