I walk because my Mom is a survivor. She suffered a massive heart attack in her early 40's and was saved at St. Luke's in Milwaukee by a brave cardiac team who performed a double bypass. Unfortunately, this left her heart very weak and over the years she went through many procedures and took many medications but eventually her heart was worn out.
On July 25, 2019, she received a heart transplant which gave her an entirely new lease on life. Five years post transplant, she is living her life to the fullest each and every day.
That is why I am so passionate about the annual Heart Walk! Please help me exceed my goal.
