2026 Orange County Heart & Stroke Walk: Linda Ward

On October 1 2024 I had a triple bypass after having a heart attack. I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure. After completing cardiac rehab, I have been continuing to follow the things I was taught (heart healthy eating and the 40-minute workouts).

I continue to fight my heart disease so I can participate in the heart walks and support The American Heart Association. I walk for those of us fighting heart disease and in memory of my father and my grandmother in-law, whom both died from heart diseases.

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people get trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.

I Walk to help Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.

From the bottom of my repaired heart,

Thank you for your support

Linda Ward
