I work for the American Heart Association because I believe in its mission to save lives and improve health for everyone. Heart disease and stroke remain leading causes of death, and the AHA is at the forefront of research, education, and advocacy to change that. Every day, I see the impact of their work in communities—helping people live longer, healthier lives through prevention, treatment, and support. Being part of this organization allows me to contribute to something bigger than myself: creating a world free of cardiovascular disease.

I am raising money because this fight is personal. I have a family, and I want them—and families everywhere—to have the chance to live healthy, full lives without the fear of heart disease or stroke. Every dollar raised helps fund lifesaving research, community programs, and education that make a real difference. Supporting the American Heart Association means investing in a future where more people can celebrate milestones with their loved ones. That’s why I’m committed to walk this year.
