I started walking as a small, tangible way to honor my dad - forever my hero and best buddy - who died of a heart attack at age 51.  20 years later, I continue to walk to honor those we love, to raise awareness, and to make positive change.  

 

I walk to support the American Heart Association in their work to reduce cardiac disease and stroke.  I walk in the hope of a brighter tomorrow, and I walk with gratitude for all of you--you mean so much to me and to our family.  Thank you for your love and care and for supporting us on this journey.  We love you all!
