Kimberly says the open heart & two pace maker surgeries put me on an emotional roller coaster. “I felt a strong need to help others going through similar experiences. I had to give back in some way.”
Q: What are the responsibilities of an American Heart Association Ambassador?
In 2010, Kimberly became an American Heart Association Ambassador. “I speak throughout our community on the importance of heart health. I stress the importance of being proactive and being educated about personal health issues and taking ownership of them.”
An upcoming event supporting funding for heart/stroke research is Saturday, October 12th, 2013. Join the Metro Atlanta 5K Heart Walk from 8 am until 9 am. “I’m walking as a tribute for every woman, man & child affected by heart/stroke disease,” says Kimberly.
2013 Metro Atlanta Heart Walk
As the American Heart Association’s signature event, the Heart Walk promotes physical activity and heart-healthy living in a family fun environment. This year more than one million walkers will participate in more than 500 events, raising funds to save lives from this country’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers — heart disease and stroke.
