I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
My sister Tera was notified during a prenatal visit that her daughter/my niece would have a heart disease. Before being born, my niece Nyla was diagnosed with Pulmonary Stenosis. She was only 9 months old at the time of her first heart surgery. While there were challenges and extreme caution and care taken with Nyla through the years, she is thriving today and educates those around her on heart diseases. A recent high school graduate, Nyla is poised to join the medical field in the hopes to work with expectant mothers whose child(ren) have been identified will have/have a heart condition/disease.
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.
