Walking For A Cause, Walking For Family -
This walk is more than just 1k steps - it's a tribute to my dad, who fought a year - long battle of enduring eight strokes with no cause ever found, and to my godfather, who passed a year to the day after my father due to heart issues. It's for my mom, who underwent open heart surgery at just 51 years old while I was in 2nd grade, and for myself having survived a surprise pulmonary embolism which resulted in high blood pressure at 29 as a new mom. Every step I take is in honor of these experiences, their struggles, and the lives of my dad and uncle that we continue to carry with us.
Together, we raise awareness of stroke and heart health. Every step matters, and every story shared helps us move closer to better understanding, prevention, and support. Thank you for walking with me and supporting this cause. Let's keep moving forward for a healthier future.
