Brilliant, self-deprecating, generous, compassionate, well-mannered, beautiful, and funny as all get out.
That was Mom. She remains my biggest motivation for participating in the Heart Walk and my most personal connection to the American Heart Association?s mission.
I never saw this photo of her until after she passed away, but it has become one of my favorites. I?d give anything to know what she was thinking in that moment. Perhaps she was wondering why she was shoe shopping when she looked so stylish and could have been doing something much more glamorous!
I?d be honored if you?d join me in celebrating Mom?s life by supporting my 2025 Heart Walk efforts. Every step we take helps fund lifesaving research and advocacy?and every donation brings us closer to a world where more families get to hold on to the people they love.
Thank you for your consideration?and for walking with me in spirit.
