I walk because last year,  I lost two cousins to heart disease, one on each side of my family.   With those losses, my husband lost one of his life long best friends.  Both in their 50s, both suddenly.

Another cousin's son, about the same age as my kids in their early 20s, had open heart surgery to address a genetic heart issue. 

My father died when I was 13 of heart issues.  I was awoken at 4 am with him collapsing outside my bedroom door.  It happened to be on February 4, the same day this year I will wear red for awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of women.

I would love for anyone to join the walk, or if you can, show some support for our team.  Thank you!

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
