2026 San Diego Heart & Stroke Walk
'BE FAST'er than Cardiac
Every day, we come together as a team with one shared purpose: to care for patients and families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. From the ICU to the neuroscience units, and through every stage of recovery with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, we witness both the fragility and resilience of the human heart and brain.
Our team is made up of nurses, therapists, physicians, and support staff who care for patients impacted by stroke, heart disease, and neurological conditions. We walk alongside our patients in their most critical moments—and again as they take their first steps in recovery. This work stays with us long after the shifts end.
The Heart & Stroke Walk is more than an event for us—it is personal.
We walk:
- For the patients who fought bravely and inspired us
- For the families who trusted us with their loved ones
- For the lives changed in an instant by stroke or heart disease
- And for the hope that through research, education, and prevention, we can change those stories in the future
We invite you to join us—whether by walking, donating, or simply spreading awareness. When we come together as a community, we amplify our impact beyond the walls of the hospital and into the lives of those we serve.
Thank you for supporting our team and for helping us make a difference—one step, one patient, and one life at a time.
With gratitude,
Giang and Keisha
