Carter had a stroke at/around the time he was born that resulted in a cerebral palsy and epilepsy diagnosis. Over the past year and a half, Carter has endured numerous hospital stays and appointments including multiple brain surgeries. He is continuing to make astounding progress every day and has an amazing support system behind him through family, friends, and organizations such as the American Heart Association.
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.
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.
