Our Story

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 the 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.

Since 2011, our organization hosts four annual programs and organize three community awareness campaigns. The evidence-based information provided by this platform gives individuals a plan of action to implement lifestyle changes to reduce the number of deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases. 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.
