I was 24 when I was finally diagnosed with Wolf Parkensons White Syndrome (WPW), which I had been struggling with since I was young. It was very traumatic with 2 young children. I have had 3 cardiac ablaisions, one EXTREAMLY close call, tons of hospital stays and countless sleepless nights since then. I am mostly healed now, there is at least one extra pathway left on the outside of the right side of my heart. I dont plan to Crack my chest plate unless I absolutely have to, and right now, it doesnt cause me problems. I take enormous pride in being able and willing to participate in these events! I just hope and pray that the money raised at this walk saves more people like me!!! Much love!
In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don't survive. Most of the time, it's because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
