Monday 20th Apr Great walk around the neighborhood today. Appreciate all the donations that have been given to the foundation. This walking challenge is just what I needed to get off my butt and walk more. Getting healthier one step at a time. Get out and get moving get your heart health up.  Share

My why

Wednesday 18th Mar The Heart & Stroke Foundation is so important to all of us, you never know when you may benefit from their work. I never expected I would, but 5 years ago my world was flipped upside down when I was rushed to the hospital and told I needed Open Heart Surgery! What a way to discover you were born with a bicuspid valve instead of the tricuspid valve and this caused an aortic aneurysm that ended up having a tear, suddenly asking what kind if valve I want, um how about the kind that'll keep me alive lol, so they cut me open and swapped out my valve with a mechanical valve, on my way to becoming bionic, maybe?  Just need to collect a few more metal parts. Anywho I hit a double whammy cause shortly after waking up a few days later I ended up having a stroke of course I did, cause why not spice that hospital stay up and for good measure let's add on an infection, sure why not! Glad its in the past now, but so very grateful for The heart & Stroke Foundation and all they do. So needless to say this foundation is very important to all heart and stroke patients, their families and friends, as well as all future patients as well 😊 ❤️ Share
