Stories of the Heart
Kendel Christoff is the fourth generation of women in her family to have a heart event before 50 years old. Her great-grandmother had a stroke in her 50s, her grandmother passed away in 1996 of a heart attack, her mother had a heart attack and a stroke in her early 40s, and then Kendel became a heart attack survivor as of 32 years old.
Community Impact Corner
Firestone Park Elementary School in Akron now has its own American Heart Association Teaching Garden, creating a real-life laboratory for students to learn and experience healthy eating. This garden teaches children how to plant seeds, nurture growing plants, harvest produce and ultimately understand the value of good eating habits. The students receive garden-themed lessons to teach them about nutrition, math, science, and other subjects all while having fun in the fresh air and working with their hands. Together, we can dramatically change the way our children think about and consume food.
