In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.

Every day, my team and I have the privilege of caring for patients battling heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions. We see firsthand the impact heart disease has on individuals and families. We also work tirelessly to ensure we have enough beds to care for every patient who needs us.

But what if we could make a difference before someone ever needs one of our hospital beds?

This year, our entire MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute (MHVI) Division is coming together as The Rhythm Keepers to support the 2026 Greater Washington Region Heart Walk!

Our goal is simple: Raise awareness, support lifesaving research, and help prevent heart disease and stroke so fewer families have to experience the heartbreak of a cardiovascular emergency.

I'm asking you to join us in making a difference. No donation is too small, and every contribution brings us one step closer to saving lives.

Extraordinary Starts With YOU! 

Please consider donating today to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we can make a difference—one heartbeat at a time!

Thank you for your support!
