I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
I walk because walking literally saved my dad’s life! Several years ago his main artery—the one they call “the widow maker”—was 100% blocked. When he went in for surgery they found collateral arteries had grown into his heart as a result of walking every day for 30 years! The surgery was no longer needed.
I walk with Verde because our friend and colleague, JD Guerreo, recently died of heart disease. JD was a little younger than me.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. You can help!
