About The Founders
After my husband and Founder of Chip’n Away @ Heart Disease, Coach Narleski “Chip” Malone, received the gift of life in November 2010 with a heart transplant, we decided to tell our story in hope of keeping other families from this devastating disease.
To honor his donor and the donor’s family, he authored, “A Second Chance” depicting the journey to renewed health after transplantation. The love of my life for thirty years passed away the weekend before his sixtieth birthday in October 2015.
I continue his legacy.
Our Mission
Chip’n Away @ Heart Disease executes health-related programs with collaborative partners with a common cause that help facilitate our health and wellness outreach initiatives.
Our Vision
Our vision is a healthier, more informed community where awareness leads to prevention, and prevention saves lives.
Since 2011, our organization has carried the torch of legacy through four annual programs and three awareness campaigns. Guided by evidence‑based education, we empower individuals to make lifestyle changes that reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease.
