Authenticity and Loving It!

To be able to connect with you is our passion. This goes beyond promoting health and wellness it's about fostering real relationships and sharing information in a way that's transparent, trustworthy, and rooted in care. At Chip’n Away @ Heart Disease, we are committed to providing accurate, well-researched, and original content. Every outreach program is designed with thoughtful expertise, ensuring you receive information that resonates and empowers.

Our mission, “To empower individuals and families through heart health education, storytelling, and community engagement,” began with the late coach Narleski “Chip” Malone, whose journey continues to fuel our work. After receiving a heart transplant in 2010, Chip wrestled with survivor’s remorse and searched for ways to share his story. With nothing but determination and his two middle fingers on the keyboard, he typed raw, candid reflections offering hope, honesty, a fight to survive, and the extraordinary gift of receiving a second chance.

His new heart gave our family four bonus years, and during that time, he often stepped outside the familiar, comfort zone of coaching, and with no more x’s and o’s, just bold truth-telling from the heart. He honored his donor’s legacy by always concluding his speeches with a timeless question: “I ask you, what would you do with a God-given second chance?”

This organization stands firm as a trusted source of health and wellness advocacy. We back our content from personal experiences, with reputable sources from academic journals and health agencies to a collaborative alliance of medical professionals and business leaders. We lead with integrity, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping you to thrive.

To Your Health, Cynthia
