Did you know…

Did you know that February was Heart Health Awareness Month?

Fun facts about the heart:

Your heart pumps blood through about 60,000 miles (96,000 kilometers) of blood vessels. To put that in perspective, this blood tubing system could circle the Earth at the equator TWICE.

Your heart has its own electrical supply and will continue to beat even when separated from your body. This specialized network of cells is known as the heart’s electrical conduction system.

Heart disease is the greatest single threat to your health and the leading cause of death globally. The good news? You can help manage your heart health through dietary choices, regular exercise and stress management.

I know quite a few people in my personal life who’ve suffered heart attacks; some have made it through, and some not so lucky. I just recently lost an old co-worker / good friend to a heart attack in their sleep and wanted to shine a little light into the world and give back by starting a fundraiser at the beginning of February. I didn’t have a way to share it on my social media at the time, so I decided to extend my fundraiser for another month, until April 1st, 2025. My Fundraiser can be found at the link I’ve shared below. Will you help me raise to help others in need?

100% of my proceeds from anything purchased during the month of March will be allocated toward the fundraiser even if my $100 goal is reached.

Thank you and have a good evening!
