MY WHY! I walk for my husband. I walk for my brothers-in-law. I walk for my Dad. I walk for my friends- the ones whose hearts have fought battles I never want anyone else to have to fight.
And this week I walk to support my Friend Melissia!
Melissia suffered a Sudden Cardiac Arrest in public. In that moment her life came down to the people around her-strangers who didn't hesitate. They performed CPR for 9 minutes, refusing to give up, until first responders arrived and took over. Because of their courage and knowledge, Melissia is still here!
That's what this walk is about. It's about people who show up- as heroes on the street, as researchers in a lab, as caregivers at a beside- fighting so that heart disease and stroke don't get the last word.
Please consider donating to my team, be one of those that SHOW UP!
Thanks, Holly
