Sixteen years ago, I was inspired to join the Heart Walk in memory of my grandfather. He suffered and survived several heart attacks. As I was growing up, I saw the toll it took on him and our entire family. Each heart attack came with a tremendous fear that that would be the one that would take his life.
This year brought a whole new level of meaning to my involvement in this important cause as my Mom went into heart failure and received a pacemaker. Now she is learning ways to slow this progressive condition.
I walk for my Mom, to advance important research about heart failure. I walk to honor her and remember my grandfather and other family members who have been taken by heart disease. I walk for my children, so they may see a world cured of heart disease and stroke.
With every step, I’m making a difference in someone’s life. And when combined with a million other Heart Walk Heroes across the nation, we have an even greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke. Will you be a Heart Walk Hero with me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today! Thanks for your support!
