Carrying the Torch
Our Legacy, Our Why
Chip’n Away @ Heart Disease was born from a shared vision between its founder and me. A former high school educator and coach faced his most formidable opponent. Not the game clock, but heart disease that led to a heart transplant in November 2010. This vision rooted in love, urgency, and the belief that education saves lives we thought about helping people so they would not go through what we did.
Together, my husband and I set out to battle the #1 killer in America: heart disease. Through hands-on education, community outreach programs, and strategic partnerships, we’ve reached over 78,800 people since 2011 with life-changing information and resources. Every workshop, every car show, every conversation has been a step toward prevention, awareness, and hope.
Though the founder has passed, his legacy lives on in every heartbeat where we help to inspire and educate. I now carry the torch—his torch—burning with the same passion and purpose that started it all. This isn’t just an organization. It’s a movement. A tribute. A promise.
