Love is Why! Join me in supporting the American Heart Association!

In December 2014, just 5 days before Christmas, my fiancé David Carmody was rushed to the emergency room after becoming nonresponsive in our home after having chest pain for just a few short minutes. After 10 of the longest hours of my life he was pronounced deceased. He had a massive heart attack, the widow maker as it is called. A 100% blockage in the left anterior descending artery. David was an active and energetic 34 year old with many aspirations and dreams. While this event was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, it was crushing to see his bright future end due to a health issue he was not only unaware of, but able to prevent. 

I am walking to promote the goals of the American Heart Association, and urge individuals to take a more proactive and involved stance when it comes to their health, not only for themselves but for their loved ones. Take this opportunity to support a fantastic organization, make that appointment with your primary care provider and make changes today to prevent heart disease, heart attack and stroke.  Life is much to precious and there are far too many people who care about you and love you. 

I’m not just walking. I’m Heartwalking. My participation in Heart Walk promotes fun ways to be physically active and make healthier choices every day. Imagine the impact if we reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent by 2025. Please help me reach this lifesaving goal by donating today. Together, we can make healthier, longer lives possible for everyone. 

Thank you in advance for your support!

Be a heart hero. Be a relentless force. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now and together we will help save lives.
