Every year I participate with my broker, Long & Foster in the Philly Heart Walk. Last year I combined my camino and the heart walk to raise funds.
This year I am only walking in Philadelphia. This is your chance to make a difference by making a donation to the American Heart Association, Philly Heart Walk, November 2nd at Citizens Bank Park. I was shocked at how many people suffer and die from heart disease in the US.
I have formed a team, the "Devon Doers" to raise funds for the American Heart Association, most funds stay local, you can give to my team using our team page. I seem to have left it late this year, so am asking everyone I know if they can please make a donation to help me out. I set a low goal, unusual for me, but it can always be adjusted upward as funds come in.
I have always supported this as my Dad died of a heart attack when I was about 23 and I had to step in and run the London end of our family business. My oldest son had just been born a matter of weeks before and my brother was getting married in the US the night my Dad died. A very eventful time and the year following was a time of growing up.
So, I realize how heart disease can impact a family and feel that our support can help prevent unnecessary deaths. So, please take a moment and make a small donation to help eradicate heart disease.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support of my Active Rain family as I know you all do so much for your own communities already.
