This year’s Heart Walk is deeply personal -- it's the first time I’ll walk in memory of my dad. I’m walking in honor of someone who, through determination, lifestyle changes, and science, fought heart disease for over 30 years. He showed us what perseverance, courage, and healthy living can look like every day.

The mission of the American Heart Association means more to me now than ever. By supporting it, we honor those we’ve lost, celebrate survivors, and help create more time for families together.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping me honor my dad. Your donation supports lifesaving research and healthier futures.

I can’t do it alone -- please consider giving today. Every step counts, and together, we’re saving lives.
