I am walking to bring awareness to heart disease. It can be a silent killer and almost took my life. Healthy 46 yr old Wife, Mom of 2 working and living my life. I had regular physicals and had even seen a cardiologist at age 40. Normal blood work, normal EKG, and never high blood pressure. Guess what? A month or so of jaw and arm pain led me to a quadruple bypass (open heart surgery). I spent 20 plus years working as a paramedic and CPR instructor, truly never thought it would happen to me. So I want to make sure that I do my part to educate and raise money to fight heart disease!!
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death.
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
