We're proud to be participating in our 7th year with the American Heart Association Heart Walk, and my goal is to make this our best year yet!

We walk in support of beloved family members affected by heart disease-my grandfathers, Jack and Peter; my grandmother, Rose (a/k/a GMAC); and most importantly, my father, Patrick. My dad passed away from a heart attack in 2015 at just 47 years old. He was an incredible person who had so many more years ahead of him.

Participating in the Heart Walk each year is not only deeply meaningful, but it also helps keep his memory alive.

Please consider joining our team or making a donation if you're able. Every dollar helps save lives and brings us one step closer to ending heart disease.

I'm proud to be his daughter and to walk in his honor.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Together, we can help change that.
