I'm participating in this event because four years ago a good friend of mine, Andy, had a dual bleed hemorrhagic stroke. He was life flighted to Houston where he spent several weeks before being transferred back to Victoria for inpatient rehabilitation. I tell my friend often that he is a walking miracle.
After four years from his stroke, Andy experiences minor neurological deficits, his short term memory at times deteriorated but his long term is unremarkable. He is fully functional independent. He truly is a walking miracle.
I Walk to Save Lives and to raise funds for research to reduce or hopefully someday eliminate all cardiovascular events.
