From 8 to 80: Raising Awareness for all Ages!

Last week, I had a wonderful appearance in Montgomery County speaking to the local Daughter's of the American Republic organization. The ladies were incredibly kind and welcoming to me, and I think my speech about heart disease prevention resonated with them. Many had personal experience with stroke, heart attack, or even just fatigue or difficulty breathing steadily.

Earlier that day, I was lucky enough to visit my own elementary school and speak with every single student during their lunch periods. The lunchroom was the perfect place to talk to the kids about healthy, well-balanced meals and fun types of exercise. I was thrilled to learn that Travilah actually already has several wonderful programs to promote and reward physical activity. What a wonderful way to get an early start on heart health!

All in all, I'm so glad I got the opportunity to speak to people of all ages about a cause that's so important to me!





Love,
