I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
My Dad has heart disease and had to have a pacemaker implanted when he was 46 years old. My sister walked into the house one day to find our Dad slumped on the couch with a heart rate of 30. Prior to this, we had no idea he had heart disease and what the signs were that we missed leading up to this event.
It is important to be aware of heart disease, what the signs and symptoms are, and maintain your healthy checks annually!
