Walking for life

On Sunday, September 24th, I am participating in the Cheerios Heart&Stroke Walk for Heart. Our goal is to raise over $3.2 million in support of heart disease and stroke research and health education programs. The reason? Heart disease and stroke remains the leading cause of death in Canada.

Millions of Canadians – family, friends and colleagues - may develop some form of heart disease and stroke throughout their lives. By helping The Heart and Stroke Foundation fund the best research possible, we can find the answers that will make a difference to their future and yours.

You can help me raise funds for this important cause and help the Heart and Stroke Foundation reach their goal of $3.2 million for life-saving research. To sponsor me online, just click this link to access my secure fundraising page.

As many of you know, I have a congenital heart condition, a bicuspid aortic valve. While this condition does not currently have much effect on my day-to-day life, I will eventually require open-heart valve replacement surgery. So I have a special reason to want to support this organization.
