25 years ago my dad had open heart surgery. I decided to walk in my first American Heart Walk. As I walked I began to see just how many people are affected by Heart Disease. On Oct. 16, 2007, I lost my dad to heart attack. On June 8, 2011, I lost my husband to a fatal heart attack. I will be part of this years Heartwalk on Saturday, Sept. 21. However, I am not able to walk at the actual event so I will be walking the 5 miles in my neighborhood.
This event helps raise awareness for Heart Disease! Many people learn CPR. The American Heart Association continues to educate many about heart disease. I support their efforts by participating in this walk. Unfortunately, heart disease is still the number 1 killer of woman.
My fund raising efforts are starting very late this year. So hoping I can get people to assist me in my goal.
