Braden came down with bacterial meningitis when an unknown bacteria was left undetected in his body. What we thought was a simple cold was so much more. This lead to endocarditis destroying his mitral valve. After having emergency open heart surgery for a mitral valve replacement, Braden was put on blood thinners for life. Strokes, heart attacks, blood clots and heart health have become something we think of daily.

 

We want to raise awareness and share our story in hopes to save lives. We want to educate others on heart health, your overall health and the importance preventative care. 

 

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​
