Freedom is Why... Because every one deserves to be free: Absent of worry, liberated from medication, free of physical and mental constraints, independent, ...knowing your body is ready and able to do all that you want to do. That's what Freedom is to me.
I'm walking in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk to raise funds for heart disease and stroke research and education. You all know that this is already so very important to me, not only because most of my career was focused on the artificial heart, but because of my family history and all the loved ones that are no longer with us because of this disease.
Will you support my efforts to fight the nation's No. 1 and No. 5 killers - heart disease and stroke? Consider a donation (or join my team!) today. It's so easy: Just click "Donate Now" to make a secure, tax-deductible donation and find out more about why I'm participating in the Heart Walk.
Here's how you can help fight heart disease and stroke:
- $25 gives 50 people educational materials that teach them how to reduce their risk of heart disease & stroke
- $50 delivers healthy nutrition messages to elementary school students through lesson plans & activity guides.
- $100 allows one hospital to teach its patients, caregivers and health professionals about the risks of stroke.
Events like Heart Walk make a difference. Through education and research, the American Heart Association is working to build healthier lives for all Americans. Will you please support us?
