HEART HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER
There are some basic statistics that blow my mind!!
- There are 116 million adults in the U.S. with high blood pressure! (That's nearly 1 in 2 people...and I'm one of them.)
- High blood pressure has nearly tripled among men age 20 to 44!
- High blood pressure has almost doubled in women under 45 years of age!
I walk because the American Heart Association and OMRON Healthcare have a goal of reducing deaths due to heart attack and stroke. The CDC states that nearly 80% of cardiac events are preventable. Help me help others get educated and take action!
THANK YOU!
P.S. The photo of me was taken with Matt Forte, former Chicago Bear. He walked with us 3 years ago, before the pandemic sidelined for awhile. But you can't keep us down!
