If you know me and my daughter, Carley, you know we have been advocates and participants with the Heart Association, Kern County, for many years. I am a survivor from an aortic aneurysm. Both of my parents had pacemakers. My oldest daughter lost her battle with pulmonary hypertension at age 36. These are my reasons why. We need research, resources, and education for the community. 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. Please help me reach my goal.
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.
