The Heart Walk of Tampa Bay is just around the corner, and once again, I’ve joined the Executives with Heart challange to support the mission of the American Heart Association.

For me, this isn’t just an annual event on the calendar. It’s deeply personal.

Heart disease has been an ongoing battle in my family. My grandfather lived with it for years, showing quiet strength through every test, every procedure, every difficult day. More recently, my mother has begun facing her own journey with heart disease. Watching two generations of my family endure the challenges that come with this condition has made one thing very clear to me: this fight is far from over — and it affects more families than we often realize.

That’s why I walk.

If you feel called to support, whether by donating, walking with us, or simply sharing this message, I’d be truly grateful. Every step makes a difference. Every dollar helps save a life.

Thank you for standing with me — and with all the families affected by heart disease. Together, we can make a difference.
