As most of you know, this is my second year directing a fundraising walk called the Stride for Health.  Proceeds from this June 14th event benefit the cardiac and endovascular programs of Hallmark Health System.

The Stride for Health has become personal to me this year, as heart disease and stroke has touched the lives of people I care about.  While I again coordinate police details, oversee the logistics of transporting bagels and bananas and figure out the ratio of walkers to portable toilets, I will also be focused on the real goal and thinking about my friends.  I’ll be celebrating my co-workers who every day save and mend lives.  These clinicians are dedicated, skilled and compassionate, and it is no wonder when I speak to former patients that they are so appreciative of the fine care they have received from these incredible individuals.

I have registered to be a virtual walker of the Stride for Health and am asking you to support me with a pledge. Every pledge, no matter how small, adds up and will help us reach our goal and continue our mission of providing exceptional cardiac and endovascular care to our patients. 

Pledges can be made on-line or sent to my attention at Hallmark Health, 585 Lebanon Street, Melrose, MA 02176. 

Thanks for your support!
