I try to be an advocate for health... Whether that's sharing posts that carry information about healthy lifestyles, companies willingly putting chemicals into our food, or even sharing exercises that I take part in. I think it's immensely important to be healthy and spread awareness about things that could benefit others. Maybe that one post was enough to convince someone to do a 5K... Maybe they'll be inspired to change to a healthier diet... etc. Who knows, but I do my part in sharing.
This year, a good friend and coworker of mine suffered from a stroke. He's doing well, but it was a gut-punch to all of us. And unfortunately, I've known plenty of others who have had their own challenges relating to the heart. We only have one, and we often take it for granted. Myself included. Sometimes, it's not even our fault, it's just the hand we're dealt. Which is why research and funding for research are so important.
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.
