I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?

Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.

This organization is near and dear to me, because heart disease runs deeply in my family.  Heart disease has taken my grandfather and my father in law away from our family, and my father is currently a survivor. 

In 2003 my daddy had his first heart attack, 1 of 4! I cherish every moment I have with him, and grateful that he is still with us, especially, because he was able to see his baby girl have her own children and is wonderful enough to babysit them.  My daddy has changed his life to the best he can by eating healthier and staying as active as possible.  (Of course now staying super active with a toddler)  He unfortunately has 60% blockage in one of the smaller arteries of his heart, and there are very few cardiologists that are knowledgeable of doing a stent for it.   This is where AHA can help!  A donation goes to their new research for innovative treatments and providing programs and services for survivors and their families, and help more of our loved ones lower their risk. 

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
