I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve and that eventually led to an acceding aortic aneurysm. My aneurysm grew and my valve became severely stenosed and I required open heart surgery last year. With every beat (tick) of my heart I am reminded how lucky I am to have outstanding physicians and surgeons that cared for me. I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
