Help Me Raise Funds for Stroke and Heart Disease!
I am not a runner, for sure, but I am excited to help raise money for a great cause. Stroke and heart disease has affected my family and loved ones, and any opportunity to raise money towards more prevention, awareness and support for survivors and their families, outweights my deep dislike of running. Thank you for anything you can give, and I hope you can join us at the end to raise a beer!
