My Heart Walk fundraiser is dedicated to a friend of over 30 years who recently lost his battle with cardiovascular disease, Randy Auerbach. Our kids grew up together and now his wife and kids are putting the pieces back together after losing a husband and father.
Randy is not alone. 19 million people die every year worldwide from cardiovascular disease. (That’s like losing half the population of Canada EVERY YEAR.)
127.9 million U.S. adults have some form of cardiovascular disease. (That’s the population of California, Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania COMBINED.)
Every dollar raised through Heart Walk helps fund the kind of research that keeps hearts beating. The kind of lifesaving science that takes blood pressure down a notch. The types of educational tools to put CPR on everyone’s radar.
Your donation means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
I walk to save lives and to honor lives, like Randy’s, that were not saved. You can help save lives too!
