Hello! I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. Here's a short back story on why I am supporting this walk.
In 2003, my mother had a stroke, and I was expecting my first child. It was 1 month before my delivery date. It was life changing for me and my family. My dad became her caregiver and had no clue where to begin. Mom was in ICU, but she came out like a lightning bolt! She had many sessions of physical therapy and has now recovered 80%. She lost her long term memory, but she is thriving today. I know many family members and friends that in some way heart complications have impacted their lives, and I am walking to support them and all the unknowns.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
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.
If you are local, walk with me (join my Lockheed Martin Business Resource Group team)!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
