I walk because of my dad. On September 5th 2020 my life changed when my dad, Tom Rake, died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. He was my inspiration to become a nurse and to help raise awareness for heart health.
He also inspired me to drastically change my diet and start training with a personal trainer. His death was a wake up call to my own health and I was reminded that life is precious and you only get one!!!
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.
