This is my seventh year participating in the Detroit Heart Walk. I have been personally affected by heart disease when I lost my spouse, Carl Peterson, unexpectedly to heart disease in October 2019. I will be walking with our daughter Rose on June 6 in memory of Carl. 

Did you know that almost half of all adult Americans have cardiovascular diesease and it's the leading cause of death in the US? The silver lining is that an estimated 80% of heart disease deaths are preventable. 

I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.

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

Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives.

Have a heart and help me reach my goal today.

Thank you!

Sara
