I walk for my family members who have lived with heart disease and heart defects.
My father struggled with heart disease for much of his senior adult life -- starting with angina requiring stainless steel stents placed in arteries surrounding his heart, progressing to triple bypass heart surgery, and ultimately congestive heart failure that took his life in February 2020. My oldest sister was born with a heart murmur and has undergone several successful heart valve replacements. Advances in technology and treatments for heart-related conditions were life-extending for my father and for my sister, life-saving.
I'll be walking in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk in Raleigh, because I know that with every step, I’m making a difference in someone’s life. And when combined with a million other Heart Walk Heroes across the nation, we have an even greater impact toward curing heart disease and stroke. Will you be a Heart Walk Hero with me?
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
