I'm walking in memory of my Pops, Don Rupp, a 52 year vested IAM conventional machinist who passed away from CHF in 2020, my Baumpa Delaine Buter who passed away when I was 2 from a rare heart condition, and my brother Ed Steffe, who passed away in March 2025 from heart failure. I'm also walking for me. I have a rare disease that has left me with an incurable heart condition.
Every step, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research, education initiatives, and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.​
I walk to save lives and pay tribute to my beloved family. Please help me reach my goal today. - your donation can save a life...maybe that saved life is a person you love and cherish. Thank you from the very depths of my soul!
