This summer, a friend unexpectedly suffered a heart attack and passed away at the age of 43.  Natalie was full of life. A mom, teacher, wife, friend and training to run the Chicago Marathon.

On September 26, Natalie’s friends are teaming up to walk in honor of Natalie and to bring awareness to heart disease.  Even though heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the U.S., women often chalk up the symptoms to less life-threatening conditions such as acid reflux, the flu or normal aging.
