Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation.
I was personally affected by it this year. My father, pictured above with a member of Meredith (NH) Fire had a heart attack in February, and the experience has forever changed me. I am so lucky that he survived, and I am eternally grateful to the first responders, doctors, nurses, therapists, and medical community who all played a part in helping him. That may not have been possible without the funding and research performed by the AHA.I’d be thrilled and grateful to have your support. Whether you are able to join in the walk that day (Saturday 10/26), or you are only able to make a donation, I am optimistic that it will make a real and lasting impact for people across the country. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you think may be interested in walking or supporting the AHA.
If you do donate to my team page, regardless of which person you donate to on my team, I am partnering with Abe & Louie's steakhouse in Boston (yes, I see the irony but they have amazing, healthy fish and vegetarian options as well) for a 4 person, 3 course dinner/wine pairing valued at over $1,000. Donating will automatically enter you to win, and I will randomly draw a winner on 10/24. Donation raffle amounts:
$25 = 1 entry
$75 = 4 entries
$150 = 10 entries
$250 = 20 entries
If you do not know me or someone on my team personally, please include your email address in the donation so that I can thank you and reach out to you if you win. Alternatively you can follow me on instagram - @nyeomelakis.

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.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Assocation, we will move into our second century with Bold Hearts focused on the work ahead while celebrating our lifesaving history with those who have made it possible. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
With a little heart, we can save lives. Head on over to my Team Page to sign up. Click here to go to my personal page: https://bndfr.com/39R8Q
