I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives. My family has a history of atrial fibrillation & atrial flutter, and I was diagnosed earlier this year. Thanks to research from the American Heart Association, I had what we hope was a successful ablation last week (we won’t know for sure if it sticks for 3-6 months but I am feeling better every day). If you want to see one of the new technologies they used check out this: https://hospital.haemonetics.com/vascular-closure/vascade-mvp (it has eliminated the need for direct pressure on the incision sites to stop bleeding once the catheters are removed).
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.
