I'm participating in the Heart and Stroke Walk and raising funds for the American Heart Association not only because I work here but because I've seen how our work has saved and improved lives over our organization's 100 years of service. I meet so many people everyday whose lives have been impacted by the AHA, from the young person whose life was saved by CPR, a lifesaving technique that resulted from research funded by the AHA; to a mom who recognized her heart attack warning signs from one of our educational videos and got immediate help; to a child born with a congenital heart defect who is thriving because of advancements in treatments and surgical techniques that the AHA helped make possible.
Saving and improving lives can be as simple as taking a walk. And I know I'm making a difference in the lives of others by participating in the Heart and Stroke Walk.
But it's not just my efforts alone that will one day help us see a world free of heart disease and stroke. I am walking with a team of heart heros because together, we will have an even greater impact. And you can help us change the world, one step at a time, by donating to my fundraiser.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that keeps hearts beating and helps people enjoy longer, healthier lives. I can't do it alone.
Please help me now by donating. Because every step counts. And together we are helping save lives!
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
