Dr. Joseph Drazkowski:  I walk for my cousin and myself. My cousin Jim, passed from sudden death due to coronary artery disease, that was unsuspected. I walk for myself recovering from cardiomyopathy due to toxicity from my medication. I want to thank all family and friends and healthcare providers. Money raised will go to a good cause to prevent heart disease and help save lives through research. This is a noble cause.

Jody Kim:  I walk for my mom and myself. My mom has a stent that was recently put in and has helped her tremendously.  I am recovering from an unexpected quintuple open heart bypass surgery. I am grateful each day to be alive and to my heart surgeon and the ICU nurses that took amazing care of me. I am grateful to my cardiac rehab nurses that continue to take care of me post surgery. This is an amazing cause that will continue to help save lives.

We're a relentless force! Now imagine how much stronger we'll be working as a team! 

Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. You could do something to change that.

We are walking together - not only for our own health, but also for yours. And for the health of our parents, our children, and our grandchildren.

The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.

Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now and walk to save lives.
