Life is Why!
I have been Walking for the HeartWalk in Chicago for the past eleven years and past five years for the HeartWalk in Daytona Beach. The reason I walk for the Heart Walk is because I survived a stroke before my 40th birthday and survived open heart surgery 12 years ago. I have been walking for the Chicago and Daytona Beach Heart Walks since then, and I have met many people who have been touched by heart disease and/or stroke for themselves, relatives, and/or friends.
Recently, a dear friend had a significant heart event. Several neighbors along with the AED device saved my friend’s life.
I’m not just walking again. I’m Heartwalking. My participation in Heart Walk again promotes fun ways to be physically active and make healthier choices every day. Imagine the impact if we reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent by 2020. Please help me reach this lifesaving goal by donating today. Together, we can make healthier, longer lives possible for everyone.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
