American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk

I will be taking a vacation day from work to do some important work.Help Save Lives!

Most of the work that I have to do by October the 20th will already need to be done. This why I’m asking for your important help to Pledge support for this much needed cause.

In 1979 at a young age and just about to graduate from High school, I got that call. I got a call that said the family is needed at the hospital. Little did I know it was too late to say goodbye to my Father.

Yes, his mind was sharp, his spirit was strong but his Heart was weak. I always wondered how that moment in my life played an important role of who I am today.

Yes, I’m been working here at King County Government for almost 25 years, yes, I’m involved at my work place and in my community but most of all I’m a father and grandfather of a 10 year old grandson and a 4 year old granddaughter. I’m very concerned that maybe my heart is not as strong as I think and I won’t be there for them when they need me most.

That’s what motivates and drives me to help raise money for the American Heart Association and King County’s efforts. I hope that you can join me by Pledging in helping others that might need the research and services that is provided by the American Heart Association.

Please Pledge $$ for me. Anything you can, Click the link below . Feel free to pass on tell your friends.
