Why are we doing this?

❤️ Why This Cause Matters to Us

Heart disease isn’t something that feels distant in our family—it’s something we’ve lived through.

My dad passed away from a heart attack at just 66. My grandpa also struggled with a heart condition that required a pacemaker, and we eventually lost him too. One of my aunts has had a heart attack, and another has suffered multiple strokes..

It’s a pattern that’s impossible to ignore.

And it’s one that made me take a closer look at my own health.

🐾 A Wake-Up Call

I’ve been diagnosed with hypertension, and I knew I had a choice to make.

So I made some changes:

• I quit smoking
• I started exercising
• I’ve been trying to stay active and more mindful every day

Not because it’s easy—but because it’s important.

Because I’ve seen what can happen when heart health is taken for granted.

🚶‍♂️ Why We’re Walking

That’s why we’re joining the Heart & Stroke Walk – 1 km a day in May.

It’s a small, daily commitment—but it represents something much bigger:

• showing up for our health
• honoring the people we’ve lost
• supporting those still fighting

And doing it alongside our dogs makes it even more meaningful—because they get us moving, they keep us consistent, and they’re a huge part of our everyday lives.
