I have stepped up to fight heart disease and stroke through the American Heart Association (AHA) Executives with Heart. I am reaching out for your support of the AHA’s 45th Annual Heart Mini-Marathon & Walk on March 13th, presented by Kroger Health. Nationally, The Kroger Co. is a premier sponsor of AHA’s Healthy For Good™ movement to inspire our nation to create lasting change in health and in life, one small step at a time.

For me, the work of AHA is personal.  I lost my father at the young age of 55 years old due to heart failure.  This is also personal for our customers and associates as we’ve heard heartfelt stories each year through our annual engagement with AHA activities. I am honored to personally invest and engage my professional network to lead by example for our associates’ 2022 campaign.

There is much work to be done, and I need your help. I am asking you to take a few minutes and make a meaningful contribution.  Our team, Merchandising with Heart, has a donation goal of $30,000.  As community leaders, we are frequently called upon to support many worthy causes, and I appreciate your consideration to connect with a cause that affects all of our lives.  

Please consider contributing to the AHA’s efforts with a tax-deductible contribution (Tax ID #13-5613797). Here are the ways to support:
