In memory of My dad who survived a heart attack and heart surgery.

By Alisia Gustafson Join Me

I've created this page in memory of a loved one.

I wanted to honour and celebrate their memory by raising money for Heart & Stroke.

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can. The more people that know about Heart & Stroke, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

As I reflect on why this is important to me: 2009 my dad survived a heart attack and then in 2023(or 24) he had a heart surgery.  He is still with us and for that I am grateful.  This is what I can do to raise funds to go towards further research, as well as raise awareness of the importance to keep moving to protect your heart. 

3km down, 87 to go….
