I am Vice Admiral Joe Outlaw, Commanding Officer of the USS Challenger, Cleveland Chapter of the International Federation of Trekkers (IFT). We are an international Star Trek fan organization dedicated to community service and IDIC – Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.
I had a "mini-stroke" eight years ago and was subsequently diagnosed with advanced CVD that I am medically managing through lifestyle and diet changes. My father passed away due to a heart attack when I was seven years old. My mother and gransmother succumbed to progressive strokes.
I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
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 no longer exist.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.
