I am participating in Heart Walk for selfish reasons: it benefits my and your dear ones like my 100 year old father who personally benefits from a number of this organization's research results, and the walk will benefit my heart and overall health and mobility as I age.

We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help?

Your donation no matter the size will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives. As my mother used to say, "pennies make dollars" and every penny counts for worthy organizations like this one. 

This year, along with my own father's 100th birthday, 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.
