There are two main reasons why I walk:
1. My husband had a stroke a few years ago, and the signs were atypical. I want there to be more education and research to help prevent these types of strokes from affecting others.
2. My neighbor's four-year-old son passed away after receiving a heart transplant the year before. No parent should have to watch their young child die. I want research that will prevent children from having heart defects and provide more lasting cures.
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 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.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
