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?
My grandfather suffered a stroke when I was very young. While we are grateful for his life after that, it was hard. He was wheelchair-bound and had a very hard time speaking, opening his eyes, and interacting with the world around him. Because of my grandmother's nursing background and nature, he lived a long time and was able to watch each of his grandkids grow up.
I hope, that through the research and mission of the AHA, less kids will be heratbroken by seeing their grandfather go from a fun, energetic, playful man to that same man trapped inside of a body that cannot function.
Not only will your donation help the AHA fund incredible research accross the nation, it will also help make an impact in Stark County.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
