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.
Whether it is you or a friend or family member, heart diseases touch us all at some point. I walk to support survivors like my dad. I walk so other daughters get to have their dad's with them too. I walk to inspire help, hope, and healing.
I remember the first time my dad had a stroke. I was still in high school and I thought there was no way I would lose MY dad early in life. Things like that happen to other people, those people. Heart attacks and strokes, suddenly losing your loved ones didn't happen to us. We weren't those people. Turns out, we are those people. My dad recovered from that first stroke, and has recovered from several more since. Advancement in medicine, and healthy heart education have saved so many dads, moms, brothers, cousins, friends. But we need more. I walk for more.
