As an employee of the American Heart Association, this will be my 26th Heart Walk. The work we do is motivated by the stories we hear every day. People who have lost loved ones, those who were saved by a bystander who performed CPR, those who benefited from research that allowed them to spend more time with family and friends.
This year it became very personal when my Mom had a heart attack. Women can have symptoms that present differently, we all need to remember that. She had no idea she had a heart attack, but knew something wasn't right. I'm thankful for the great medical care she received and today she is the picture of perfect health.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives. This is for all our Moms and loved ones!
