I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. Also, I am a survivor. This year I turned 6 and suffered from a minor stroke. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives...like me.
I was born with a heart defect (double outlet right ventricle - DORV). I had a cath lab procedure on July 31st and one of the risks was blood clog/stroke. Luckily, only my speech was affected. I was in the PICU for 5 days and the cardiac general floor for 2 days.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
