I'm walking this 5K for the American Heart Association in honor of my dad, who passed away from a heart attack 8 years ago.

Heart disease runs deeply in my family; my grandparents also lost their lives to it, and it continues to impact us today! Earlier this year, my stepdad had to undergo a heart ablation, which was another reminder of how important heart health is for all of us.

This cause is incredibly personal to me. It's about remembering my dad, supporting my family, and being proactive about my own heart health for the future.

If you feel moved to donate or even share, I'd be so grateful!
