I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. I walk because I’m a heart nurse who has cared for thousands of babies and children with congenital heart disease (affecting 1 in every 100 babies). I walk because my Dad was a heart attack and stroke survivor, who was saved by bystander CPR and given two more years with our family. 

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me? Heart attacks and strokes can happen anywhere. The AHA helps community members learn CPR so more lives can be saved and families like mine have more time with those they love.

Your donation will also fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
