Once again I am thrilled to be serving as a Heart Walk Coach, leading the team "The Heartbeat of the Midwest." 2025 is my 10th consecutive year volunteering for the Heart Walk in my home town of Chicago! As my work teams have expanded over the last several years, we've had increased participation and impact in the Greater Midwest market. This year I am asking for your help to continue to grow our participation and impact.

Over the last 5 years, this team has raised $35,630.85 in support of the AHA's mission promoting heart healthy living, stroke awareness, and hands-only CPR. This year my team's goal is $5,000!

This is more than just a walk-it is a chance to champion heart health, support our community, and showcase the power of our connection. Let's make every step count and dollar count, and bring that energy to the campaign!

Heart disease, stoke, and related cardiovascular diseases are the #5 killer of American's every year. Many of us either know someone, have known someone, or know of someone, who has been impacted by heart disease or cardiovascular issues. It is for those people whom I am passionately and actively working to do my part-THEY ARE MY WHY!

• I walk to stay healthy & strong.
  
• I walk to honor Stroke Survivors like me.
  
• I walk to help everyone learn the warning signs of heart attack and stroke.
  

I walk to save lives & so can you. Please consider joining my team and making a donation TODAY. Every dollar counts towards life saving research and awareness efforts.
