I walk in honor of my dad Gabriel Mejia, who had a stroke in November of 2023 and who unfortunately passed away from complications 11 months later. I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
We are all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. so we have to change that. I am asking you to join me in celebrating all the patients, survivors, and caregivers of heart disease and stroke, as well as honoring those we have lost along the way.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and help 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.
I appreciate the consideration and hope to see you all at the walk.
