The WHY of it…..
Friday 1st May I thought I’d share why the Heart and Stroke Foundation means so much to me, for those who might not know. I’m no stranger to complications of the heart. Both of my parents have dealt with significant heart issues. Most significantly was my Mom’s sudden passing  from aortic dissection in 2017.  My Dad has also undergone quadruple bypass and a series of heart attacks. Then in 2021 I had a stroke. I was an otherwise healthy 40 year old, with none of the major stroke risk factors . We discovered I was missing a membrane in my heart that separated the right and left atrium of the heart. This missing membrane had allowed a small clot to pass through. It was the most terrifying event of my life. I feel lucky that I was able to get help quickly, that I am fortunate to not really have any lasting deficits and that I was able to have a procedure that occluded the hole to prevent it from happening again. There will always be concern around my heart ,  especially after what my family and I have gone through. I’m grateful to this organization for all they do and that is why I will walk to support them.Â
