I walk because I have been affected by heart disease. In 2008, on my way to work, I received the worst phone call of my life. My mom was calling to tell me that the paramedics were in the house working to save my father, who was battling severe diabetes and heart disease. They did not save him, my father passed away at 58 years old from sudden cardiac death. I can go on to share more stories on how heart disease has touched my life through more family and friends? stories.
At the end of the day, it would be hard to find anyone that heart disease has not touched. We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We must 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.
I ask you to please do what you can to help me reach my goal today.
