I walk in memory of my son, Joel Paton Peterson. Joel unexpectedly passed away October 25th 2023, at the age of 18, due to sudden cardiac death. We were not aware of any heart conditions. I walk to raise awareness because I know that with every step, I am helping save lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
