We're a relentless force! Now imagine how much stronger we'll be working as a team! Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation.
We walk for Jacob who was born with Hypoplastic right heart syndrome, tricuspid atresia. He has had 2 open heart surgeries and will have another one in the future. He is a very busy and active boy. Thanks to the American Heart Association’s mission and all the volunteers who came before us, Jacob is thriving through his congenital heart defect and loving his tracker rides and playing sports with balls.
The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Assocation, we will move into our second century with Bold Hearts focused on the work ahead while celebrating our lifesaving history with those who have made it possible. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now and walk to save lives.
