My Dad was diagnosed with heart disease at age 80. He suffered from this for many years; he just didn't know it and although the doctors tried their best he only lived a few more years even after open heart surgery at age 80 which he recovered from amazingly. Education is crucial. My husband has a heart disease; lipoprotein(a), he's had a heart attack and now lives with 12 stents in his heart. He manages this with meds and diet/exercise. I also had a loved one die from cardiac arrest. I've had friends who have gone through many issues with their heart. Heart disease affects someone we all know.

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.\u200b
