Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. I know this firsthand as my dad passed away unexpectedly nearly 17 years ago from a heart attack and a year ago, my father-in-law also unexpectedly passed away with a similar diagnosis. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of them. I wish more than anything that my Dad could have met his grandchildren and while my children were fortunate to know my father-in-law, their time with Papa was just too short.
On September 23rd, my family and I will be walking with hundreds of other Heart Walk heroes. There is still time to join our team or donate if you feel inclined. Together, we can make a greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke.
