As a Stroke Program Manager, every day I see how strokes change lives. As a Registered Nurse, my career has been dedicated to improving care provided to stroke victims and working to decrease the prevalance of stroke in my community.
Since I first started working in the stroke world many years ago, I have seen it go from the 4th leading cause of death to the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. We can make a difference, and continue to make a difference every day.
Saving and improving lives is something I have chosen to dedicate my life to, but you don't have to dedicate your life to it to make a differnce. It can be as simple as taking a walk to make a diffence in the lives of others by participating in the Heart Walk.
It's not just my efforts alone that will one day help us see a world free of stroke and heart disease. I am walking with a team of vascular 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 brains healthy 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! I will LOBE YOU for it!
