I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives by supporting the American Heart Association.
Heart health is close to home for me. My dad had a stroke when he was only 56. I think about him often, daily, but especially when I play a game of cribbage, hear about someone's DIY project or see a pair of jean shorts (he wore embarassingly short jorts when I was in middle school!). We miss him!
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
