I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have 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.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
I walk for Astrid! Astrid was part of the 1% of all babies born in the United States that is affected by a congenital heart defect. Astrid was born with Truncus Arteriosus and had open heart surgery when she was just seven days old. It is because of decades of research that treatments like this exist and babies like Astrid can thrive. There is continued efforts to develop more effective treatments that require less interventions as children with CHD grow but that requires funding. THAT is why we walk.
