I'm fundraising to help the American Heart Association continue to win the fight against heart disease. Their cause is very important to me as heart disease has had a major impact on my family. I continue to run each year and fundraise to honor and remember my father who died from heart issues when he was only 46; my sister and her child who passed away from an aneurysm during her pregnancy; and my younger brother whose heart eventually gave out from his battle with muscular dystrophy.
It is important to me to honor their legacy; create hope for others who are also battling through fighting heart disease; and to help be a good role model to my amazing daughters as they grow up.
There are many good causes out there! Thank you so much for considering any amount you can help give to the AHA.
