2026 Phoenix Heart Walk
The McLeran Marchers
We are The McLeran Marchers, walking in honor of Michael McLeran, who passed away suddenly from a widowmaker heart attack just 13 days after his 35th birthday, while on the golf trip of a lifetime in Bandon, Oregon. Michael was a devoted husband, a loving dad to our daughters, and a man whose kindness touched everyone he met. We walk to carry forward his laughter, legacy, and generous spirit—while supporting life-saving research so no family endures the loss ours has.
Widowmaker heart attacks outside a hospital have only a 12% survival rate. By raising funds for the American Heart Association, we hope to support research that can change those odds and prevent other families from suffering the devastating loss we did with Michael.
Whether you walk with us or contribute a donation, thank you for honoring his life and helping us carry forward his big heart and love for community.
