In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

Congenital heart disease affects 8 to 12 out of every 1000 babies born.  Groundbreaking research supported by the American Heart Association has helped to improve survival and quality of life for those born with congenital heart disease.  

For me, walking to support the American Heart Association and raise awareness is personal.  As a Congenital Heart Disease survivor with 3 open heart surgeries behind me, I've had the opportunity to lead a full and active life. As a pediatric cardiologist I have dedicated my life to helping others with CHD.  Walking to support the AHA is one more way to support my patients.

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!
