Team Story: Walking for Every Second Saved

Every year, nearly 800,000 people in the United States experience a stroke—and in an instant, life changes. For our team, that truth is deeply personal. We walk with the memory of a beloved parent whose life was cut short by a stroke, a loss that reshaped our world forever.

Stroke doesn’t wait. It doesn’t give warnings. It strikes fast, and when it does, every second matters. That’s why our Heart Walk team is stepping forward with purpose—because we’ve felt the impact of stroke in the most profound way, and we’re determined to help spare other families from the same heartbreak.

We walk for the parent we lost. We walk for the survivors still fighting their way back. We walk for the families who never saw it coming. We walk because 80% of strokes are preventable, and awareness can save lives.

This year, our team is not just showing up—we’re showing what it means to fight for change. To walk with purpose. To walk with love. To walk for life.

Together, we walk for the parent we miss every day. Together, we walk so others get more time with the people they love. Together, we walk for every second saved.

Let’s make every step count.
