Saving and improving lives can be as simple as taking a walk. And I know I'm making a difference in the lives of others by participating in the Heart Walk.
This matter is particularly close to me as an adult survivor of congenital heart defects. I was born with a coarcted aorta and a bicuspid atrial valve that hospitalized me from the age of seven days to about one year old. In that time, I underwent one open procedure and two angioplasties. Were it not for the care of concerned doctors, my family, and advances in cardiology spurred by events like this, I would likely not be here in the condition I am today, if at all. For this reason, I am walking to ensure that those Rut need this support are still able to access it.
But it's not just my efforts alone that will one day help us see a world free of heart disease and stroke. I am walking with a team of heart 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 hearts beating 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!
