I said yes to Leaders of Impact because, like so many of us, I have people I love whose lives have been affected by serious health challenges. I know what that can mean not only for the person experiencing it, but for the family and the people who love and care for them.
When I thought about how I wanted to approach this campaign, bringing people together felt natural to me.
So I'm bringing together people from different parts of my life and community to see what we can accomplish together. Yes, that means raising money for the American Heart Association. But it also means learning, connecting, sharing resources, supporting good work, and showing up for one another.
If you've made it to this page, I'm asking you to join me by making a gift.
Start with $50 if you can. Give $25. Give $10. Give more. Whatever you can give matters.
And don't give simply because I asked.
Give in honor of someone you love. Give because heart disease or stroke has touched your family. Give for yourself. Give because you want another family to have more time together.
One fact AHA shared with me has stayed with me: for every $1 given, $4.86 comes back to the Pittsburgh region.
Find your reason. Then join me.
With heart,
Eva
