Dear friend,
I volunteer for American Heart in memory of my dad who I lost to this disease almost 32 years ago at the very young age of 49.
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.
Your donation is greatly appreciated!
Michele
