Both of my grandparents have been positively impacted by the work of the American Heart Association. Because of the research, education, and lifesaving efforts the AHA supports, I am still able to spend meaningful time with them today. I am deeply grateful to everyone involved with the American Heart Association and the many organizations that stand alongside them in the fight against heart disease.

I walk to honor my grandparents, to say thank you, and to support a future where families like mine can enjoy healthier hearts and more moments together.
