I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives like my mom's who had 5 bypasses 3 years ago. I'm also helping to prevent strokes like my grandfather's and my patients I see in the ER.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
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.
