Why I'm Walking for Heart Failure

Heart Failure and heart transplants change lives forever. Patients and their families face overwhelming emotional and financial burdens—from lifelong medical care to the stress of simply making ends meet.

My husband was diagnosed with ARVC in July of 2020. He is now on a transplant list and waiting for a new heart. While we wait, I wanted to help an organization that helps people in a similar situation. That's why I'm lacing up for the HeartBrothers' Virtual 5K and raising money to help provide financial aid, emotional support, and resources to Heart Failure and transplant patients in need.

Every step I take is for heart health. Please donate—every dollar helps.

Thank you for your support!

Day 5 walk for the HeartBrothers Foundation! I dropped my son off at lax practice and was able to walk to one of my favorite places in town Wind Crest Horse Farm and visit an old friend. During this journey supporting Jay, I have realized that I need to do something that makes me smile each day. So today was visiting Dolly! Make sure you find something each day that makes you smile!

Day 3 of walking for the HeartBrothers Foundation! Just under 2 miles. Let’s talk about mental health! How do you handle your mental health? Some people talk to a therapist, exercise, draw, read, or go for a walk. Whatever works for you continue to do that to support your mental health. Lean on family and friends…find your tribe! Thank you again to my donors for your support!

Day 2: I walked 5 miles on this beautiful day. This loop happens to be one of Jay’s running routes. 5 years ago around Mother’s Day, Jay went for a quick run and he ended up in v.tach. I dropped him off at the hospital and the cardiologist believed he has ARVC. Official diagnosis and ICD in July at the age of 35. This past summer the decision was made to be placed on the heart transplant list at MGH. I walked this loop knowing that someday Jay will be able to run this loop again.
