In 2002 I stepped into the hallway of my first nursing job as a nurse in the Cardiac Unit. 23 years later, I have the honor of working with the most amazing group of healthcare professionals working with ADVANCED HEART FAILURE/VAD/HEART TRANSPLANT patients! They are my reason
The heart walk has taken a new form for me this year. One June13, 2023 my best friend, my rock, my laughter for over 30 years, Julie Stratton Radilla, passed away in her sleep of a heart attack. I miss her smile...her laughter.... her wit. I WALK FOR JULIE. I know she will be walking with me this year in spirit.
The picture enclosed are my two warriors: Julie (Left) my spirit who I will honor every day I wake up. And my Mother (right), who rocks her pacemaker and lives life to the fullest! They....along with my patients are my reasons! Please help me raise awareness and resources for the AHA so they may provide help to those who need it.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
