I'm joining the Heart Walk to support the fight against heart disease - a cause that is deeply personal to me. I walk in honor of both my parents: my mom, who survived a heart attack almost exactly 10 years ago, and my dad, who was recently diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (Afib). Their experiences have shown me the importance of awareness, prevention and support for families affected by heart disease.
My mom had a heart test on a Friday where she was told they would call her on Monday with the results. That Sunday night she experienced minor symptoms such as shortness of breath and soreness in her arm. Monday she went in to the hospital where she was told she had a heart attack. She had triple bypass surgery, and today I'm thankful and blessed to say she is thriving!
Saving and improving lives can be as simple as taking a walk. And I know I'm making a difference in the lives of others by participating in the Heart Walk.
But it's not just my efforts alone that will one day help us see a world free of heart disease and stroke. I am walking with a team of heart heros because together, we will have an even greater impact. And you can help us change the world, one step at a time, by donating to my fundraiser.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives. I can't do it alone.
Please help me now by donating. Because every step counts. And together we are helping save lives!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
