February is American Hearth Month and I plan to honor it in the following ways:
- On February 19th I will run a Half Marathon – requiring me to focus on nutrition & fitness in the new year!
- The Half Marathon is in Florida (A1A Half Marathon) where it should be warm and sunny – very good for my heart because I love sun and the beach!
- Raise funds and awareness for the American Heart Association! This amazing organization supports research, education and advocacy, and helps heart disease and stroke patients. Research they have funded has led to such major advances as CPR, bypass surgery, artificial heart valves, pacemakers, clot-busting drugs and high blood pressure medications.
Please join me in the fight against our nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers – heart disease and stroke. I need your help by donating to the American Heart Association, your donation of $50, $35, $25, $15 or whatever you can afford will help all of us and our loved ones. You can donate by completing a donation form or visiting my online donation page http://runwithheartchicago.kintera.org/metrochicago/kekrunswithheart
In addition, I will post some Heart Healthy tips on my blog going forward for anyone interested.
