I walk in memory of my father, who suffered from heart problems and strokes.
My father struggled as a hardworking immigrant to this country, trying to give a better life to his kids and family. He worked double shifts and ate fast food on the run, but always made time for his family. What he didn't do was make time to take care of himself. His poor diet, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise ultimately led to heart disease and strokes. This took precious time away from him to enjoy his family and grandchildren before he ultimately succumbed to Alzheimer's.
I walk because I want people to know their health is just as important as their careers, their family, their friends. Your kids and grandkids want you to be there and be part of their lives for as long as they can have you.
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?
And if you cannot walk 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!
