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 Walk with my Optum Connected Community Team.
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 taking a stand to walk with my 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.
I lost my father-in-law to a heart stroke when he was very young and his absence reminds me to help bring awareness and to raise funds to help save the life of a loved one. My children did not have a chance to grow up with their grandfather.
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!
