Dear Friends,
This year I am hoping to raise $25,000 for the American Heart Association. Like many of us, I have seen my loved ones suffer from heart attacks and stroke.
One lovely Spring evening, when I was sixteen, I went to my grandfather's room to tell him tea was ready in the garden. He had suffered a heart attack and died just shortly before I found him. My grandfather was a strapping, six-foot tall, strong and healthy man. I still fondly remember sitting with him, rapt with attention while he shared his hunting stories.
You have stories like that as well I'm sure. Loved ones who did not know about cholesterol and heart disease. I'm sure you've seen loved ones paralyzed or taken away by stroke.
The American Heart Association is doing good work in our local community. At Western Health Advantage I work closely with the AHA offering support for local food banks, school mental health education for adolescents, diabetes and hypertension education, CPR classes, and heart disease and stroke awareness.
Please help me in building a healthier community, Khuram.
