Dear Friends,

Many of us have seen the devastation caused by heart disease and stroke. It’s something no family should endure. This cause has special importance to me because as you may know, my father past away in April of last year. He had suffered a heart attack in 2001 but managed to survive for another 18 years.

I’ve been canvassing ever since 2002 and that is why I’m working with Heart & Stroke Canvass to raise funds and deliver life-saving information.

First, I would encourage you to learn and share the signs of a heart attack and stroke, because it could save the life of someone you love. Second, please donate to my fundraiser. Why? Because in Canada, one person dies every 5 minutes from heart disease, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment. We must do something right now.

Your donation will help all people in Canada, but it’s especially important for women, who face even more dire statistics:

#1 cause of premature death in women in Canada is heart disease and stroke.
53% of women who experience heart attack symptoms have them go unrecognized.
2/3 of all heart disease and stroke clinical research focuses on men.
To close the research gap, Heart & Stroke has pledged to double the dollars invested in research for women. I need your help to save lives and create more moments with the people we love. Support my fundraiser here.
