I have decided to participate in the annual American Heart Association Heart Walk this year. I wanted to share a bit about my reasons and invite you all to join me in supporting this worthy cause.
My reasons include several family members who have struggled with heart disease through the years. Most recently, my dad had quadruple bypass surgery as result of heart disease. He was doing many of the things the doctors tell you to do to avoid this disease, but heredity plays a huge factor as well. My dad is a retired Naval officer and he also spent time in the Airforce. He has given our family and our country so much in his lifetime. The gratefulness that I feel because he is still here with us and fighting back is my biggest reason for joining this effort.
I would love it if you all could join me as well. Thank you in advance for your support!
