"Journey of the heart "
A week ago, I participated in my 10th heart walk: true blessing.
Why I walk? to promote awareness, honor every family affected by heart disease and stroke, raise funds for medical research , encourage patients to stay active/exercise, and celebrate my recovery from heart valve replacement and three pace maker surgeries.
Sharing words of encouragement,
Despite whatever you may face today: focus on the positive, keep moving forward and never lose hope❤
Whether it is your friend, brother, dad, boyfriend, spouse, or boss, show them you care about them and their health by wearing blue. If Friday of Men’s Health Week doesn’t work for you then pick any other day of the year andstart a fun Wear BLUE day at work.
I am from: Atlanta, Georgia
My surgery date is: February 12, 2009
