It has been a little over 15 years now since I had a massive heart attack, and 9 1/2 years now since that heart was removed and a new one transplanted.

I walk and raise money for the American Heart Association because of those who have stories like mine, because of the ones that are still here, and the ones that are not, because of all the rest who through knowlege and healthy change can do things to avoid going through what I have, and because of all of those who work actively in healthcare to erase heart disease, and have indeed supported me for over a decade.  True lifesavers!

My why in a nutshell, is you.
