Why Does This Matter?

The heart is the first organ that grows in a baby and is the last one to beat when we die. Without a heart no one can live here on earth. The pain of losing someone you love can be overwhelming and not an easy journey to endure. No one wants to lose someone they love to heart disease. In many cases, we believe heart disease can be prevented and in other cases it can be managed with the right education, support, and counseling. Many individuals live with this disease and do not have the appropriate education and information needed to care and prevent this disease. It takes everyone helping to help find a cure, so individuals do not have to endure the challenges that often come with battling heart disease. Together, we can help each other and those we love live longer and have a better quality of life.
