“In 2019 my father had an unexpected heart attack that nearly ended his life. Thanks to the innovations made possible through research by the American Heart Association, he was able to make a full recovery, and our children now have the gift of more time with their grandfather. This event made us very aware of how fortunate we are, but also how unfortunate millions of families are each year to lose loved ones to heart disease and stroke. Amy and I are chairing the Heart Walk to raise awareness across our community so that more families can enjoy the same precious gift of time that we now have with my father.”
