American Heart Association Gives Out Over $16 Million in Grants to Local Organizations for Cardiac and Stroke Research

The American Heart Association is a great organization. They recently recognized some of the local organizations that they gave funded to in order to fight heart disease and stroke.

A nice thing about the reception was that folks who have benefited from the funding--as in those who would not be alive today without it--were there. I met a guy names Jason Holmes who had a heart attack when he was 31.

I'm 33.

His story hit home to me.
