In the spring of 2023, a routine health screening turned into a life-saving intervention. Despite feeling no symptoms, a family history of heart disease prompted me to seek out a cardiologist. What was discovered was a complete blockage in a major artery—an immediate and critical threat that I was completely unaware of. This experience has been a powerful lesson in the importance of proactive health management.
I am forever grateful for the incredible advancements in medical technology and the talented physicians who intervened and gave me a second chance. On September 27th, I will be participating in the Kansas City Heart Walk to support the American Heart Association's mission.
I invite you to join me in this effort. Your donation will help fund the life-saving research and innovation that enabled my survival. I’ve personally experienced the invaluable impact of this work, and can attest to how it affects not just individuals but our broader community.
