I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
This year we walk for Jason, my brother. Many have heard about his journey, from having the widow maker in the beginning of December, to receiving the greatest gift, a heart transplant, at the end of December. He is here with us today due to someone's decision to be a donor (and of course the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Vanderbilt). We will never be able to thank that person, but their heart will go on in one of the strongest, bravest, loving, driven person we know. And for that, my family will be forever grateful!!
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
