I walk because I know that with every step, I’m making a difference in someone’s life.
My dad, Marty, died at the age of 52 from a massive heart attack. I was speaking to him the morning of May 19th at 8 am and at 11 pm that evening I recieved a phone call that he had passed away. Just like that, he was gone. Heart disease runs in my family and even with that, his heart attack could have been prevented. Thirty years without him. He was not at my wedding, he hasn't met my kids and he is not sharing in the personal and professional success I have had throughout my lifetime. THIS IS WHY I WALK. I can't get my dad back, I can walk to prevent another young women or man from experiencing the same devastating heart break.
