A big reason why I'am taking part in the American Heart Association Heart Ball this year is because of my Grandfather. My Grandfather struggled with heart disease for most of his life and had his first heart attack at the age of 47 and his 2nd at 58. After his second heart attack he needed to receive a Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). He later developed congestive heart failure and passed away at 72 due to heart complications. I want to make a difference and you can help by donating to my cause.
