Last year one of my family members suffered a serious heart attack and received lifesaving procedures made possible by ongoing research. Additionally, heart disease and stroke run in my family, and have for generations. My walk symbolizes hope for a future of even better treatments, and is also a personal commitment to my own health journey.

I last walked in 2016 and I'm certain research from 2016-2025 helped save my family member's life last year. Thank you for supporting this cause today - every dollar helps build momentum!
