This year I have had the distinct pleasure of being a part of the Los Angeles American Heart Association by joining the Executive Leadership Team for the LA Heart & Stroke Ball.
The AHA is not only involved in funding research around cardiovascular disease but also incredible initiatives in local communities around healthy living. For example, through the program The Teaching Gardens, AHA teaches children in first through fifth grades how to plant seeds, nurture plants, and harvest produce instilling knowledge around healthy living. I truly believe education and prevention efforts like this, from an early age, are a powerful and significant way to impact the lives of children for years to come and to save lives.
Please help me raise money for the Los Angeles Heart Ball.
