Hello Family and Friends! The picture you see is my grandad and I in 2007. We were staying warm when we had that ice storm in Tulsa that year. He was a great man but he died in 2015. This year I felt I would honor him by joining with the American Heart Association to help them fight against heart disease and stroke. I will be helping the community through various service projects and learning about healthy living. So far I have learned that heart disease is the #1 killer and stroke #2. The AHA is continually finding ways to help prevent and educate others about heart disease and stroke. My grandfather unfortunately had both. Both diseases can be quick killers. I know this first hand, one day I was with my grandad, the next he was gone. If there is a way to prevent this, shouldn't we try? I hope you will consider joining me in the effort to help prevent and educate about these diseases. Together we can change lives!
