I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
In 2018, I was diagnosed with Lupus. Thanks to medication and doctors who listen, I've been able to manage my symptoms. However, I learned recently that women in my age bracket who live with Lupus are 50 times more likely to have a heart attack. Who knew?!
In fact, heart disease is the number 1 killer of women (more than all forms of cancer combined). So, I walk for my health... and the heart health of other women.
I walk for the men, too. Both of my grandfathers had heart attacks at young ages... fortunately, because of science, they survived those heart attacks and lived for many years after.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
