Hi, I’m Adrianna, a 24-year-old mother of two beautiful baby girls.

My journey with heart health began when I was just 3 years old, when I was diagnosed with a heart condition called hypervagal syncope. Throughout my life, I have faced challenges related to my health, but I have always continued to fight and push forward.

In October 2025, just two weeks after giving birth to my youngest daughter, I suffered a stroke. It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.

These experiences have shown me how precious life truly is and how important heart and stroke awareness, research, and support are for individuals and families. That is why participating in the Heart Walk means so much to me. I walk not only for myself, but for my daughters, my family, and every person who has faced heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular conditions.

My hope is that by sharing my story and participating in the Heart Walk, I can help raise awareness, inspire others to keep fighting, and support the lifesaving research and resources that help people just like me.

Every step we take together brings us closer to a future with healthier hearts and more lives saved.
