I walk because I know that with every step, I’m making a difference in someone’s life. And when combined with a million other Heart Walk Heroes across the nation, we have an even greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke.
I walk in honor of my dad who passed away at just 50 years old due to a massive heart attack. I was only 13 at the time of his death and I have since learned how many families are unfortunately impacted by heart disease. It is my goal to continue to raise awareness around heart disease, aide in raising money for education, and to further studies to help families around the world.
