Durring the past two decades, I have had the priviledge to partner with thousands of people, as they have journeyed back from the dangers of heart disease to the freedom of good health and long lives. As a cardiovascular surgeon, the often-unseen risks of heart and blood vessel disease have been made apparent to me through the stories of so many wonderful patients.
We have made great strides battling cardiovascular disease, but it remains the nation's leading cause of death. Through the American Heart Association our community is brought together, amplifying our individual efforts to improve cardiovascular health.
The Heart Walk is my favorite fundraising event of the year, attracting over 10,000 participants and sending a message of unity from people touched by the devastation of cardio-vascular disease as well as the incredible progress we have made in preventing and treating it.
I am walking with a team of heart heros because together, we will have an even greater impact. Please help amplify the message with your donation through our Heart Walk team.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
