I am walking because I have done this event for 29 years now as an employee. I have been fortunate to see advancements make a difference in many of my family members lives (including my father in 2014).
I am also motivated this year to celebrate the love and support I have found with my new bride, Kristal. At the AHA we know that stress and mental health play a big part in overall heart health.
Please consider a donation to support a loved one lost to a heart attack or stroke, or a survivor of a heart attack or stroke or the love you now share with someone special.
I walk because I know that with every step, I’m making a difference in someone’s life. And when combined with a million other Heart Walk Heroes across the nation, we have an even greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke. Will you be a Heart Walk Hero with me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
