Life is Why! Join me in supporting the American Heart Association!
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. Together, we can make healthier, longer lives possible for everyone.
For me, cardiac disease is personal. I was born with a heart defect in my aorta called coarctation of the aorta, which was repaired with surgery when I was only 5 weeks old. I also have an aortic valve with 2 leaflets (bicuspid) rather than the normal 3 leaflets. I followed with a pediatric cardiologist until I was 24, and now see an adult congenital heart disease specialist to monitor my heart function.
Thank you in advance for your support!
