11/14 Greater Washington Heart Walk



I got to be a celebrity guest and mc at this years National Heart Walk for the American Heart Association. Working with the AHA is always so much fun. Roxana one of the coordinators is one of the nicest sweetest women you'll ever meet. I got to see Anita Brickman who was there to mc and Lou Katz from 97.1 a station I have listened to for years. I got to greet walkers and dance to the great music provided by the dj. I also got to meet a young girl and her family. This beautiful little girl and her equally pretty and sweet older sister danced the Macarena with me. I found out later from their mother the youngest had had a heart transplant when she was just two years old. It was a bit sobering but amazing to see her dance and be a normal five year old, able to live her life. It was also a reminder of why this organization is so important.
