Walk with Me - Days 15-19

I've signed up for the 30-Mile Outdoor Challenge for the American Heart Association because this cause is close to my heart. I want to take action and make an impact. And I would love your help. Whether you donate $1 or $100, every bit counts. I've set the goal of $321, my mother’s birthday and will walk to remember her while supporting the cause. I've included information about American Heart Association below.  Heart disease and stroke are the top two killers worldwide, and they don’t just affect older people. In fact, heart disease is getting younger, and young people are often unaware of the risk they face. Whether it’s undiagnosed high blood pressure, poor mental health, or vaping, we need your help raising the critical funds to support our mission: to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
