Why am I walking in the American Heart Association walk on September 20th? It's because of my father, Phil, who battled heart problems for most of his life. His first heart attack in his mid-40s was a minor one, but it served as a wake-up call for our entire family. As an Italian American family, heart issues have been a common thread among us, with weight struggles and unhealthy diets contributing to the problem. My father's heart eventually gave out when he was 64, and his brother, my uncle, met a similar fate at 68. I am walking to honor the memory of my father and my uncle.
Help me reach my goal today.
Thank you.
