I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
Lives like my son, Jackson. My sweet boy was born with a congenital heart disease, for which there is no cure. He has had 3 open heart surgeries, 4 heart catheterization procedures, and countless echocardiograms. He is 10 years old with a life expectancy in his 30's. The only thing that will save his life is research. The American Heart Association is the largest funder of research for CHD.
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.
