I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
My mom (stepmom) has heart disease. Her heart stopped three times on the way to the hospital . I was told she might not make it and that I needed to call my dad. My parents live in Hawaii so its not something you can just drive there overnight.
She stayed in a coma for a long time. Her heart stopped several times while in the hospital. The doctors there were amazing though and managed to keep my mom alive. She stayed in the hospital from November till Christmas Eve. Everyday since she is still dealing with the health issues that come with heart disease. My dad is her rock trying to keep her healthy and strong while she is still suffering.
My kids grandfather is another example. His is a little different but lets just say a Marathon running fool that he is, he would not here with us today without the help of CPR and a AED machine.
