I walk because I am grateful for my recovery from my stroke. I was blessed with excellent treatment from caring medical providers and support of my family and friends in my recovery.
Every day since December 29, 2022 is a gift which I do not take for granted. The outcome could have been catastrophic.
I hope by supporting the American Heart Associaiton to give back for all I have received. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
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.
With love and gratitude,
Christine
