In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association’s premier event for raising funds to save lives from this country’s numbers 1 & 5 killers – heart disease and stroke. I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of the fund-raising team for this year’s Heart Walk. It will be amazing to see you walking with me on Saturday, 9/26 if you can.
Unfortunately you very likely know someone dealing with heart disease as it can affect any of us. In fact, nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure and many aren’t even aware. Even more alarming - 9 of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital don’t survive the event. The AHA is working tirelessly to improve these numbers, but they need our support.
This hits very close to home as I personally am a benefactor of advancements in treatment resulting from research that the Heart Association has contributed to. Additionally, I have a very close family member who very recently lived through a serious cardiac event, making this an even more meaningful fund-raising event for me. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Let’s make a statement by helping Southern reach their goal and walk with me if you can on 9/26. Together we can help save lives!
Finally, please accept my sincere and heartfelt gratitude.
