I am proud to share that The College of Business, Engineering, Aeronautical Sciences, & Technology (C-BEAST) at Daytona State College) partnered with the American Heart Association (AHA) in their mission to reduce death and disability caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. We warmly invite you to be part of the 2026 Heart Walk, where every step brings us closer to a world free of heart disease and stroke. Your support whether spreading the word or making a donation truly makes a difference. Together, we can help save lives!

We walk together because our strength in numbers saves lives by supporting critical education and research. Cardiovascular disease touches so many lives, and sadly, we all know someone affected by it.

For me, this cause is deeply personal. My husband is a survivor thanks to medical advancements, and lifestyle changes we have embraced. Heart disease does not discriminate..My godchild/great-niece also survived major heart surgery as a baby.  Friends, other family members,  and co-workers have faced heart-related challenges, and many are fighting back through healthier choices.

Thank you in advance for your passion, support, and commitment.

With Love, Patty Dyke
