I Walk to Save Lives!

Help me be a Heart Walk Hero!

Hey all, thanks for hitting my page.  I am a Heart Surgery survivor.  My story starts with a simple 40 year physical with my family Doctor noticing a heart murmur, he suggested I get it checked out, reluctantly, but thankfully, I did just that.  At the Cardiologist's office I received my diagnosis - Atrial Septal Defect (hole in the heart).  I went in to get this repaired via outpatient surgery to stem the much earlier onset of Chronic Heart Disease.  However, I had many complications and ended up in the Cardiac ICU for four days (with multiple close calls...) followed by a long recovery.  I am blessed to have all these great doctors, hospital staff, family and friends to support me (and great company/insurance to pay the huge bill!) Anyway, I am back and better than I was before I had the surgery and am cleared for hopefully a long life of love!

Don't feel obligated to donate, just come walk or just send some positive mojo towards the AHA.  However, if you do come, I guarantee it will be a fun time!  Thanks for reading, all the best to you and yours!

Did you know that giving brings joy to you and life to so many others? When you donate to my Heart Walk campaign, you get something back that's priceless - satisfaction knowing your donation helped fund research that could cure heart disease and stroke.
