I walk because I know that with every step, I'm saving lives.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. My father's live was saved with a pacemaker 10 years ago and my mother benefitted from a minimally invasive valve replacement 5 years ago that restored her energy and joy for life.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Association, we will move health and well-being forward in important and critical ways. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke are no longer the biggest killers in our country.
Have a heart and please help me reach my goal today.
