I have been part of the American Heart Association for 32+ years, and every step I’ve taken has been in honor of those I love most.
For many years, I walked in honor of both my Daddy and my Husband. Last year was different—it was the first time I walked in memory of my Daddy, who we lost in July 2024. He was my biggest supporter, a strong man who survived a stroke and bravely faced Parkinson’s in his final years. He fought a long, hard battle, and now he is finally at peace.
This year, I walk in honor of my husband, Doug Foster. Doug has faced his own journey with heart disease, enduring multiple procedures and receiving three stents. His strength inspires me every day, and I walk for him—with love, with hope, and with determination.
That’s why I’m asking you, from the heart: Will you stand with me? Will you make a donation today to help save more lives?
When we join together—my steps, your generosity, and the courage of millions of Heart Walk Heroes across the country—we create real change. We fund groundbreaking research, we give families more time together, and we keep hearts beating longer and stronger.
❤ Every dollar matters. Every gift is a lifeline.
❤ Your support means hope for families like mine.
❤ Together, we can honor those we’ve lost and protect those still fighting.
Please, help me reach my goal today. Be a Heart Walk Hero with me—and let’s keep more hearts beating tomorrow.
