I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives just like mine. In April, I had emergency quadruple bypass surgery. I had 99% blockage but didn't know as I didn't experience any of the standard warning signs. Heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans, and stroke is #5. My family is walking with the cardiovascular team at Mt Carmel that helped me on Saturday (8/17). Will you please consider making a donation to help support the American Heart Association and save lives? The money raised will benefit everyone in every community with education and research to improve treatment, medication, diet, exercise, and find a cure. I walk for my family and others.
