Last year, I lost my sister to cardiovascular disease. Heidi was just 52 years old and died suddenly. We learned that she had Lymphocytic Myocarditis. Lymphocytic Myocarditis is a rare cause of cardiovascular disease primarily manifest as sudden death, chest pain or heart failure.

I have participated in this walk for many years and now I walk for my sister. Let's walk together - not only for our own health, but also for the health of our parents, our siblings, our children, and our grandchildren.

The Heart Walk is a an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.

Be a heart hero. Be a relentless force. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now and together we will help save lives.

REMEMBER: Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer in out nation and stroke ranks no. 2 worldwide. You could do something to change that.
